« on: September 11, 2024, 06:56 »
I'm still waiting for someone to do a native port for Mac, as myself I no longer have access to any Mac hardware :/

Requests For Features / Re: Compilation of fixes, changes, and new ideas for version 0.9.9.9
« on: September 11, 2024, 06:54 »I personally hated this and was glad to see it removed, as too many times I misclicked on the inventory screen and it made me waste a medkit or other consumable item. I suppose there is no harm though in adding it as a toggle in the legacy settings if people really want it back though (assuming there is no coding complications with it).This would be a nightmare to sensibly support alongside keybinding rebindings unfortunately, that's why I removed it.

Announcements / DoomRL 0.9.9.8 RELEASED! Jupiter Hell Classic ANNOUNCED!
« on: August 06, 2024, 13:28 »
I can finally share some exciting updates with you today!
First up, we're thrilled to announce our new project - Jupiter Hell Classic! This commercial total conversion/expansion brings the venerable DRL (formerly known as DoomRL/Doom, the Roguelike) into the Jupiter Hell universe! While modernized in terms of user experience and visuals, it retains all the beloved features of DRL, including (but not limited to!) readable and bright 2D sprites, corner-shooting, shotgun-scouting, gift-dropping, weapon unloading, and of course, DIAGONAL MOVEMENT :D.
You can wishlist Jupiter Hell Classic on Steam now :
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3126530/Jupiter_Hell_Classic/
In additon, all improvements will also be backported to good ol' Doo^D^D^D DRL, which you can test RIGHT NOW! After an 11-year hiatus, DRL 0.9.9.8 is finally here!
https://drl.chaosforge.org/
This release not only includes the usual DRL updates but also modernizes the game with new APIs, in-game settings, improved UX, new graphics, idle animations, and the ability to save and quit the game at any point.
Future development of Jupiter Hell Classic will benefit the open-source DRL, so if you want to support it (or other classic ChaosForge roguelikes, hint, hint), help us by promoting Jupiter Hell Classic!
To celebrate, Jupiter Hell is on its biggest sale yet – grab it now at 70% off on Steam!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/811320/Jupiter_Hell/
Finally, join us on the Jupiter Hell Discord to celebrate!

« on: August 04, 2024, 10:28 »
These are hopefully the master files!
I've added fluid variety to Ao100/666, did a lot of Doom removal in favor of DRL (yes, the main logo stays :P) and cleanups, and implemented a modernized FMOD backend that will work with both MIDI and MP3s, and added legacy keybindings. I present two files for testing, the lq zip as before, and the HQ installer (this will be the one most people will download) please test both if possible!

You know the drill!
The last big feature is online - Settings menu! No more editing stupid lua files just to change resolution :P. Also, keybinding have been voided, reset using the ingame Settings. I've removed needless bindings (USE, DROP, OPEN, CLOSE). If anyone misses them, I'll hear you out!

Faster that you can say "Knee deep in the dead", BETA 7 is up!
It has just one feature, but one that has been missing since 22 years. Yes, you can now "Save and Quit" anytime. This needs as much testing as possible, as we're going live with this release in a week from now!
Try playing the game and saving and loading very often, and note anything wierd/broken. If you have a broken save, please save it!

"He, he, he this will be a mess..."
Beta 6 is up!
This are probably the most invasive changes yet, despite the short changelog. I've been doing a lot of internal changes to start blowing up the really badly implemented UI, and the first effects on a journey that will continue after 0.9.9.8 up to 0.9.9.9 have been done. Ignore the messy dark quads in the initial menus, these are left there for when the menus are substituted to the new system. Most of the in-game UI has been rewritten, apart from the "previous message view" and the message box which is a bit of a hack. Report everything!
I invite all to participate on the Discord channel, and also we will be more and more moving feature discussions and info into the GitHub issues tracker. Remember all work is being done on the development branch!
Feedback on the changes needed, be it here on the discord in #doomrl!
Raw changelog below, comments, reports welcome!

Yeah, the whole network part will be removed for the next version. In the meantime NetworkConnection = false is the official fix.
I still dunno why it suddenly stopped working though, for more than a decade it simply timed out immedately.

This one's mostly for the graphics version players - the spritesheet has been updated, there's a ton of new visual stuff coming later, but now I need to make sure that all the internal graphics changes are working. Although do test on ASCII if you usually play there to make sure I didn't break it! Neeeeed feeeeedback! (especially that there was barely any towards the previous beta, so help out here!).

Apart from implementing more from the suggestion topic, the big big thing are huge changes in the internal action loop. These should still be equivalent to what was before unless I made a mistake, so be on the lookout for bugs!

If you're talking on the difference between 0.9.9.7, and 0.9.9.8 then, well, everything changed - SDL 1.2 -> SDL 2.28, OpenGL 1.2 -> OpenGL 3.3 and the fixed pipeline rendering into shader based rendering. Audio SDL_mixer -> SDL2_mixer.
