I'd use FMOD, but there is a problem with it that's nagging me.
I have the Timidity++ program installed on my computer, so I can use the Timidity driver with custom soundfonts. I am using a soundfont on my computer that emulates the Sound Blaster AWE32 sound card (the name of the soundfont is 1mgm.sf2).
When I use FMOD, Doomsday doesn't recognize that I'm using the Timidity driver and uses the default MIDI synthesizer instead (Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth).
Is there a way I could use soundfonts with Doomsday or no?
i just came across a bug with the cross hairs in doom and heretic but not hexen and that is the color will not be sown for some cross hair types and in heretic it goes as far to make what it can't see invisible yes an awesome affect happens only with the cross bow and that is on some cross hair types the will be flickering at the edges. like rapidly pulsing. hard to describe and a pic might not capture what i am seeing but i will get one for you.
Edit: here it is. the awesome i would like to be a feature.
General (all games):
[*] No map name on the automap.
[*] No sound effect when resizing the screen.
[*] Some map names make the default save game names to long to fit inside the the max number of characters allowed for a save game.
Chex Quest:
[*]The original game has a green pain filter instead of red. It is changed to a longer green filter that doesn't fade in/out compared to Doom as well.
[*]There is no Font B, whichs means doom font is used in the full screen hud and SP/MP Menu.
[*]The message font is coloured red by default where as it should be green.
[*]The player can still level warp to e1m6-9.
[*]Flemoids don't disapear but just use invisible graphics, which leave shadows (one could pass them off as zorch marks though...) in Dday.
[*]Ditto with bullet puffs (they are still spawned, but use blank graphics); Dday's dlight and shadow effects still appear.
[*]Flemoidus Bipedicus with Armor (Imp) and Flembrane (Barron of Hell) missiles need to lose full bright to match the original game.
[*]Flemoidus Commonus (Zombie man) and Flemoidus Bipedicus (Shotgun guy) shouldn't light up when they attack to match the original game.
[*]Theres an uneeded Lost Soul mobj def in the games deds.
Couple of little visual tweak suggestions as well:
[*]The armour graphic is a bit big for full screen hud
[*]Rocket Missile could given additive bldending?
[*]Plasma explosions could be given additive bldending?
HeXen DK:
[*]Dday has no check for 1.1 over 1.0 (1.1 has a sndinfo lump, 1.0 doesn't).
[*]No music beyond the title music (yes this is with the 1.1 patch installed).
[*]Save game boxes are missing the right edge.
[*]The life gem on the STBAR hud has tiling issues against the main chain.
[*]Issues with the sound origins for the lowering walls behind the player start on Ruined Village and also the lift up from the slime along the side of the main structure on Bad Lands. Both of these are high speed movements if that matters.
[*]New mobj blockmap code prevents completion of Sump by preventing the rings from lowering in the northern section of the map; I know the old blockmap code is planned to be re-instated to deal with a couple of monster traps in Doom, but this occasion in HeXen DK actually prevents the players progress.
[*]Footclipping doesn't occur until after the screen wipe (the screen wipe occurs and then the player falls after map start. Sump is a good place to test this as the player starts in foot clipping slime.
Here's a weird problem I had downloading the latest build (381).
Doomsday worked fine and all, as I completed episode 1 of Ultimate Doom. So then I moved to Episode 2.
After turning the corner at the beginning of E2M1, something weird happened. The status bar disappeared and then had a green strip at the bottom of the screen. When I tried to press Escape to bring up the menu, nothing showed up, but I could still navigate. If you pressed F7 or F10 to End/Quit the game, for example, the text telling you to press Y or N to end/quit didn't appear, but I could still press Y or N.
I then tried to get back into Doomsday by exiting and relaunching. Now the game crashes/freezes before "starting game" is finished, and I get this error message:

No extra add-ons were used. Even after reinstalling, I haven't been able to get back into Doomsday.
To add something regarding HeXen that I forgot to mention yesterday; skies don't scroll in the new builds, in HeXen or HeXen DK.
Also, a long standing bug with Dday that I've just remembered; In standard gameplay corpses only fall off ledges when the entire hitbox has gone over the edge, however when loading a save game, Dday determines what sector they are in based on where the center of the hitbox is. If the center of the hitbox of a corpse is over an edge, this leads to corpses dropping off ledges they shouldn't, right after a save game has been loaded.
If you stand on a mobj whose hitbox is right against or partially through a wall, you can clip through the wall up to the edge of it's hitbox. This can occur any wall, regardless of wheter it is 1 sided or under a ledge.
As this attached screenshot of me standing on a barrel in HeXen DK shows.
Also, the alert status of the bad guys that teleport into HeXen maps via scripts appears to get reset in save games; the next wave that teleports in after you load a save game are deaf if you haven't fired a weapon since loading the game. Given that Dday corrects the similar issue for active bad guys on a map when you load a save game, maybe it should, if possible, here as well?
Also, there are some rendering issues with the icicles that ring in the inside of the path of the Poly Obj in the north most room of Ice Hold in HeXen DK. They flicker as the Poly Obj moves around.
You can't fire hitscan attacks downward at sharp angles in HeXen or HeXen DK in the new builds; this is especially noticeable in Abattoir in HeXen DK, where you have to jump down a deep and narrow pit and land on top of a Stalker; you can't hit him with say the Fighters Axe.
Finally, there is no scream sound if you fall a fatal distance in HeXen or HeXen DK.
Pwad replacement sprites are accidently being treated as non-Pwad replacement sprites (i.e. as if they are being loaded from the patches folder). This means that instead of just replacing the original graphics, that they are also being stretched or shrunk to the dimensions of the graphics they are replacing.
I'm using Doomsday to run the HEXENDD.wad directly from it's folder in the /steamapps directory, but was using the HEXEN.wad in the separately installed Hexen folder (Steam installed the Heretic/Hexen collection into separate folders for each game and for each expansion; I don't know why) for the jHexen base. Using this configuration, I got an error that, from what I could gather, told me that Hexen, as it was, was "an incomplete game". I'm having trouble find the actual output file, so any help directing me towards that would be helping you figure this out.
In the meantime, I solved the error by placing the HEXEN.wad file in the same folder as the HEXENDD.wad file.
I want to follow up on that Plutonia 2 animating texture issue that was fixed recently.
I checked out the bloodfalls in Map15. They don't look screwed up anymore, but the brightness of the bloodfalls keeps alternating between being dimmed and being bright, something that does not happen in other source ports. Just go into the center room and look at the bloodfalls on the right.
I also have another suggestion for menu navigation. Can you make it so that you can use the mouse to move the skull up or down on the menu? This feature can be seen in Vanilla Doom. I know you can use the left mouse button to make a selection on the menu, but why not include moving your mouse up/down to navigate on the menus?
IIRC, the bloodfall in PL2 uses the FIREBLU textures; these textures are full bright in Dday, but aren't in other ports or Vanilla.
Back in the very early days, Dday added the ability for textures and flats to be full bright (The vanilla Doom engine could only achieve full bright by setting various colours in the pallete it'self) and hence the dev's went through the original textures and flats in Doom/Heretic and HeXen, selecting ones they thought would benefit from this new visual feature and set them to be full bright.
Now days, due to other recent visual features and improvements, the formly full bright flats have now become semi-brightened.
The difference is that there is a hack of sorts one can do with animated textures in Vanilla Doom to add/remove frames. Bizarely rather than use the original Blood fall animation here, PL2's dev's decided to use this hack to extend the FIREBLU texture animation. These extra frames in the animation aren't brightened automatically by Dday, for the obvious reason that they are made from new textures.
It's something that is not overly difficult to understand in action, but it's long winded to explain IMO.

I am aware of this issue. The reason it occurs is because Material definitions are used to apply an animated glow to this animation. However, each frame in the animation is overridden individually rather than as a whole in Plutonia 2, i.e., the first and last frames of the animation are the same (they needed to be, given it replaces an existing animation). You can observe this by setting cvar "rend-glow 0".
The solution to this is to handle whole animations as units, rather than as a series of individual Material frames. This is what I've been working toward with the materials system since the very first implementation, which has only now become possible.
I also have another suggestion for menu navigation. Can you make it so that you can use the mouse to move the skull up or down on the menu? This feature can be seen in Vanilla Doom. I know you can use the left mouse button to make a selection on the menu, but why not include moving your mouse up/down to navigate on the menus?
Its certainly doable but not for the upcoming 1.9.7 release.
That may be. I've found a few game-breaking bugs that ought to have been fixed in any patched version of Death Kings. Such as the area in "Sump" (Hub 1: Blight) where concentric walls are supposed to the lower successively when the Chaos Serpent immediately outside is killed. I killed the first Serpent and the first wall never lowered, but I heard the droning noise of a moving wall that must have been stuck.
I don't understand why id/Raven submitted unpatched versions of the game to Steam.
The arguments to S_MapMusic() are now logical episode and map numbers rather than the "warp" numbers used by Hexen's map change cheat.
I'm using Sycraft's Hexen Soundtrack addon, and while the title music plays fine, no game music plays. Do I have to manually rename each track now? What do I name them?

You have to patch your version of HeXen DK to 1.1 for non-CD music to work; this was required for the original game and it is required for Dday as Dday uses the same Iwad lumps as the original game to read music for HeXen and DK.
Note the patch notes incorrectly state it fixes the CD (redbook) music. The CD music worked fine in 1.0 and the patch actually fixes non-CD music.
Unlike Doom and Heretic, HeXen has an Iwad lump (SNDINFO) that matches the music to the levels. This is why Dday doesn't have music defs for HeXen and DK. Though if Dday did include music defs for HeXen and DK, it would eliminate the need for the user to install the 1.1 patch for DK. Of course it's not as easy as that, as Dday would need coding to discard said defs if a pwad with a modified SNDINFO lump that changed music, was loaded.
No, I'm still talking about Hexen DK. Why, was there something between #381 and #383 that would cause external files not to play beyond the title in an unpatched version?
For reference, this was the "readme" that was included in the Hexen DK folder in /steamapps.
To Install
Deathkings of the Dark Citadel requires Hexen v1.1. To install,
copy all the files in this base directory to your hexen\base folder,
overwriting any existing files. Then copy hexendk.bat into the hexen
folder.
To Run
Run using hexendk.bat
So yeah, pretty hi-tech. Anyway, that's why I assumed the game was already patched to v1.1. I hadn't realized that Hexen DK was also at v1.1 (usually the original game is a couple of version points higher than any given sequel or expansion, if the expansion isn't 1.0).
Patching DK to v1.1 did the trick, but I still don't know why the external files worked before now. Was something working that wasn't supposed to?

Yes, it was a general issue that affected all music, both original and external.

Invulnerability!

Shutting down the console...
Two other questions...why is it slower to load everything now? And, while playing, why does it "hitch" at times, it didn't do that before, it ran quite smoothly?
The title screen and menu titles are no longer Ultimate Doom, but still not the Doom 2 ones...they show up as plain old Doom.
I'll look into it.
When grabbing invulnerability...textures are plastered (though semitransparent) all over the screen :S
Seems to be an issue in the model renderer, it never actually enables GL_TEXTURE_2D it just assumes its enabled. Will fix.

According to your doomsday.out - "GL_GetReservedTextureName: Sleeping until new names available.", the engine was forced to sit idle during startup, waiting on the opportunity to upload texture content to your videocard. This may have been a temporary, system-specific issue. Try it again a few times and let us know if it always occurs.
The puzzle in Brackenwood (Hub 1: Blight) is bugged. If the devs aren't familiar with the puzzle, it goes like this: Before you enter the outer ring of the area, you are shown a symbol on a tile, either an "empty circle", a "crescent moon" or a "star", and you have to "activate" the "symbol pillar" that pops up so that it descends and cycles through to the next symbol, and then push the switch next to it to activate the next pillar. The last switch (you have to do them in a given order; one pops up after you do the previous) doesn't match the symbol of the other three. Ex: I was given the "star", but the last one was only activated by the "empty circle".
I'm not sure if this is a bug related to Doomsday or to Hexen DK itself.
{EDIT}
Unless I'm completely mistaken, and the symbols are meant to change after each one is activated, and I've just been extremely lucky up till this point that I'd never had to back and check on the first symbol tile.
Hang on, "version" said "jHexen is based on Hexen v1.1". Let me patch it then reinstall #383 and see what happens.
Note that the version command is talking about the version of the source code used as a basis for the jHexen game component. This does not mean that the resource data you have loaded is from that version.
I just played and didn't get the "GL_GetReservedTextureName" error, indeed, it loaded a tad faster (though not as fast as before); but the framerate hiccups still occur, mostly after opening a door or looking into an area I haven't turned to face before. It's a fraction of a second but...Still disruptive.
Doomsday out (again, I edit out the pickups):
BTW, isn't Map 3 supposed to read "The Gauntlet"?
Another question: is it possible to somehow get the sound samples played with fmod (so I can get reverbs and arguably better sound quality) and the midis with sdl_mixer? The soundfont fmod uses (Windows', I believe) sounds to my ears like crap compared to the one I use with my X-Fi.
...it loaded a tad faster (though not as fast as before)
It depends on your configuration. Doomsday now locates resources for all installed games during initial startup to facilitate changing game dynamically from the console. This adds a little overhead to the startup process, however it shouldn't take more than a couple of seconds at most. Addon loading, which was previously the big bottleneck is now much faster.

When using FMOD you can specify your own sound font using the console variable "music-soundfont". Set this cvar to the path to your sound font and Doomsday will instruct FMOD to use it for MIDI playback.
The secret level (Armory) in Hexen DK's Hub 2 (Constable's Gate) has EVERY weapon in it, I guess since it's the castle's armory. But it has player types' weapon and superweapon segment in it. To boot, if a player moves over a superweapon segment that doesn't belong to it (i.e. a Cleric tries to pick up a Quietus segment), the player gets all his mana back, and the segment remains. It's like a mana recharge spot or something. Collecting a superweapon segment of a superweapon already completed just acts like a Combined Mana (Red Mana) piece.
(OT: In future, be sure to PM me or email me if you're going to move all my posts to the gestalt Candidate thread, and that I should make all future posts there if you suspect I wasn't aware that I should. I figured it out on my own.....this time. )

I understand Fmod uses only .dls files, not .sf2? Am I wrong?
Comments
I'd use FMOD, but there is a problem with it that's nagging me.
I have the Timidity++ program installed on my computer, so I can use the Timidity driver with custom soundfonts. I am using a soundfont on my computer that emulates the Sound Blaster AWE32 sound card (the name of the soundfont is 1mgm.sf2).
When I use FMOD, Doomsday doesn't recognize that I'm using the Timidity driver and uses the default MIDI synthesizer instead (Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth).
Is there a way I could use soundfonts with Doomsday or no?
Edit:
[*] No map name on the automap.
[*] No sound effect when resizing the screen.
[*] Some map names make the default save game names to long to fit inside the the max number of characters allowed for a save game.
Chex Quest:
[*]The original game has a green pain filter instead of red. It is changed to a longer green filter that doesn't fade in/out compared to Doom as well.
[*]There is no Font B, whichs means doom font is used in the full screen hud and SP/MP Menu.
[*]The message font is coloured red by default where as it should be green.
[*]The player can still level warp to e1m6-9.
[*]Flemoids don't disapear but just use invisible graphics, which leave shadows (one could pass them off as zorch marks though...) in Dday.
[*]Ditto with bullet puffs (they are still spawned, but use blank graphics); Dday's dlight and shadow effects still appear.
[*]Flemoidus Bipedicus with Armor (Imp) and Flembrane (Barron of Hell) missiles need to lose full bright to match the original game.
[*]Flemoidus Commonus (Zombie man) and Flemoidus Bipedicus (Shotgun guy) shouldn't light up when they attack to match the original game.
[*]Theres an uneeded Lost Soul mobj def in the games deds.
Couple of little visual tweak suggestions as well:
[*]The armour graphic is a bit big for full screen hud
[*]Rocket Missile could given additive bldending?
[*]Plasma explosions could be given additive bldending?
HeXen DK:
[*]Dday has no check for 1.1 over 1.0 (1.1 has a sndinfo lump, 1.0 doesn't).
[*]No music beyond the title music (yes this is with the 1.1 patch installed).
[*]Save game boxes are missing the right edge.
[*]The life gem on the STBAR hud has tiling issues against the main chain.
[*]Issues with the sound origins for the lowering walls behind the player start on Ruined Village and also the lift up from the slime along the side of the main structure on Bad Lands. Both of these are high speed movements if that matters.
[*]New mobj blockmap code prevents completion of Sump by preventing the rings from lowering in the northern section of the map; I know the old blockmap code is planned to be re-instated to deal with a couple of monster traps in Doom, but this occasion in HeXen DK actually prevents the players progress.
[*]Footclipping doesn't occur until after the screen wipe (the screen wipe occurs and then the player falls after map start. Sump is a good place to test this as the player starts in foot clipping slime.
Doomsday worked fine and all, as I completed episode 1 of Ultimate Doom. So then I moved to Episode 2.
After turning the corner at the beginning of E2M1, something weird happened. The status bar disappeared and then had a green strip at the bottom of the screen. When I tried to press Escape to bring up the menu, nothing showed up, but I could still navigate. If you pressed F7 or F10 to End/Quit the game, for example, the text telling you to press Y or N to end/quit didn't appear, but I could still press Y or N.
I then tried to get back into Doomsday by exiting and relaunching. Now the game crashes/freezes before "starting game" is finished, and I get this error message:
No extra add-ons were used. Even after reinstalling, I haven't been able to get back into Doomsday.
Would I need to completely uninstall Doomsday?
Also, a long standing bug with Dday that I've just remembered; In standard gameplay corpses only fall off ledges when the entire hitbox has gone over the edge, however when loading a save game, Dday determines what sector they are in based on where the center of the hitbox is. If the center of the hitbox of a corpse is over an edge, this leads to corpses dropping off ledges they shouldn't, right after a save game has been loaded.
Also, automap marker numbers aren't upscaled.
As this attached screenshot of me standing on a barrel in HeXen DK shows.
Also, the alert status of the bad guys that teleport into HeXen maps via scripts appears to get reset in save games; the next wave that teleports in after you load a save game are deaf if you haven't fired a weapon since loading the game. Given that Dday corrects the similar issue for active bad guys on a map when you load a save game, maybe it should, if possible, here as well?
Also, there are some rendering issues with the icicles that ring in the inside of the path of the Poly Obj in the north most room of Ice Hold in HeXen DK. They flicker as the Poly Obj moves around.
You can't fire hitscan attacks downward at sharp angles in HeXen or HeXen DK in the new builds; this is especially noticeable in Abattoir in HeXen DK, where you have to jump down a deep and narrow pit and land on top of a Stalker; you can't hit him with say the Fighters Axe.
Finally, there is no scream sound if you fall a fatal distance in HeXen or HeXen DK.
In the meantime, I solved the error by placing the HEXEN.wad file in the same folder as the HEXENDD.wad file.
I checked out the bloodfalls in Map15. They don't look screwed up anymore, but the brightness of the bloodfalls keeps alternating between being dimmed and being bright, something that does not happen in other source ports. Just go into the center room and look at the bloodfalls on the right.
I also have another suggestion for menu navigation. Can you make it so that you can use the mouse to move the skull up or down on the menu? This feature can be seen in Vanilla Doom. I know you can use the left mouse button to make a selection on the menu, but why not include moving your mouse up/down to navigate on the menus?
Would it be possible, that it is so ?
Probably it could cause the problem ?
Back in the very early days, Dday added the ability for textures and flats to be full bright (The vanilla Doom engine could only achieve full bright by setting various colours in the pallete it'self) and hence the dev's went through the original textures and flats in Doom/Heretic and HeXen, selecting ones they thought would benefit from this new visual feature and set them to be full bright.
Now days, due to other recent visual features and improvements, the formly full bright flats have now become semi-brightened.
The difference is that there is a hack of sorts one can do with animated textures in Vanilla Doom to add/remove frames. Bizarely rather than use the original Blood fall animation here, PL2's dev's decided to use this hack to extend the FIREBLU texture animation. These extra frames in the animation aren't brightened automatically by Dday, for the obvious reason that they are made from new textures.
It's something that is not overly difficult to understand in action, but it's long winded to explain IMO.
The solution to this is to handle whole animations as units, rather than as a series of individual Material frames. This is what I've been working toward with the materials system since the very first implementation, which has only now become possible.
Its certainly doable but not for the upcoming 1.9.7 release.
I don't understand why id/Raven submitted unpatched versions of the game to Steam.
I'm using Sycraft's Hexen Soundtrack addon, and while the title music plays fine, no game music plays. Do I have to manually rename each track now? What do I name them?
That particular bug is related to Dday: viewtopic.php?f=9&p=5883#p5861
The patch can be downloaded here:
http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?id=7022
Note the patch notes incorrectly state it fixes the CD (redbook) music. The CD music worked fine in 1.0 and the patch actually fixes non-CD music.
Unlike Doom and Heretic, HeXen has an Iwad lump (SNDINFO) that matches the music to the levels. This is why Dday doesn't have music defs for HeXen and DK. Though if Dday did include music defs for HeXen and DK, it would eliminate the need for the user to install the 1.1 patch for DK. Of course it's not as easy as that, as Dday would need coding to discard said defs if a pwad with a modified SNDINFO lump that changed music, was loaded.
Hang on, "version" said "jHexen is based on Hexen v1.1". Let me patch it then reinstall #383 and see what happens.
For reference, this was the "readme" that was included in the Hexen DK folder in /steamapps.
So yeah, pretty hi-tech. Anyway, that's why I assumed the game was already patched to v1.1. I hadn't realized that Hexen DK was also at v1.1 (usually the original game is a couple of version points higher than any given sequel or expansion, if the expansion isn't 1.0).
Patching DK to v1.1 did the trick, but I still don't know why the external files worked before now. Was something working that wasn't supposed to?
The title screen and menu titles are no longer Ultimate Doom, but still not the Doom 2 ones...they show up as plain old Doom.

I'm not sure if this is a bug related to Doomsday or to Hexen DK itself.
