Doomsday 1.10 Released

edited 2013 Apr 9 in News
The stable version 1.10 (build 823) is now available.

The most prominent changes in version 1.10 are about improving multiplayer: there is now a new utility called Shell for operating servers and several multiplayer-related bugs have been fixed.

However, even more work has been done under the hood: we've been building the foundations of our next-generation UI framework and enhancing the management of surface materials in preparation for future work on the map renderer. Also, in this release we've completed a couple of important long-term roadmap items: the multiplayer server is now its own independent executable and we've cleaned up the runtime public interfaces of the engine.

Prompted by the accelerating speed of development and how impactful the changes have been recently, in this release we bump the minor version number for the first time in many years.

  • Congrats on the major milestone to you skyjake and DaniJ - excellent work, can't wait to try it out.
  • Thanks Deng Team!
    I would like to ask - when do you plan to repair sky fog work? And one more thing, last 10 years I'm used diamond crosshair - if possible, bring it back please.
    ;)
  • I wasn't aware that sky fog was broken(?)

    The diamond crosshair was made redundant now that one can simply rotate the square crosshair to achieve the same result. Consequently the diamond was removed.
  • Oh, I did not think what need rotate the square crosshair for diamond, thx! Now we have built-in puzzle game in Doomsday, cool!
    :))
    About Sky fog. For me it looks like this:

    I can see it from Doomsday 1.9 beta 6.9 and higher and thought - it was a known issue. Maybe it's only my system configuration problem?
  • Clearly the fog is indeed broken. Are you using any add-ons? (If so which?)
  • With any addons and without - always the same. For example: load Heretic game without any addons, warp on E2M7 and "fog on" in the console - at this point the problem is clearly visible on default fog settings. In the screenshots I used a more contrasting linear fog settings (start 50, end 1500) for better results.

    I have seen it as soon as launched 1.9 beta 6.9 in 2010, because I always use the fog in the game. The latest version, in which fog work fine for me - 1.9 beta 6.8. It is strange that nobody noticed it, if it really is not just only my problem. No one uses the fog? I can not play without it!
    ;)
    But of course, this may not be a priority problem now.
  • The sky fog will be fixed in the 1.10.1 patch to be released in the next couple of weeks.
