Woof! 14.0.0

New Features and Improvements

• Implement support for arbitrary resolutions. Inspired by the solution in Eternity Engine.
  • Resolution scale slider. From 100% (original 320x200) up to native display resolution.
  • Dynamic resolution scaling. Automatically changes the internal resolution to maintain a target framerate (display refresh rate by default).
  • "Blocky Spectre Drawing" adapted to any resolution. Fixed some visual artifacts.
  • Vanilla wipe at any resolution (from Diet Boom).
• Add adjustable field of view (FOV). This uses a 4:3 horizontal FOV that is scaled internally. The default value of 90 is correct for all aspect ratios.
• Integration of the voxel code by Andrew Apted. Support for models in KVX format. Recommended mod: Voxel Doom II v2.3. Load the ZIP/PK3 file using the -file parameter or place it in the autoload folder.
• Mouse controls overhaul.
  • Fast mouse polling. Mouse input is sampled per frame instead of per tic. This lowers perceived input lag at high framerates, especially when using a high refresh rate monitor. Toggle with the raw_input config setting. Inspired by a similar concept in Odamex.
  • Turn and look sensitivity are now consistent with each other (1:1).
  • Smoother free look using a solution adapted from PrBoom+.
  • Improvements to direct vertical aiming.
• Gamepad controls overhaul.
  • Fast gamepad polling. See above mouse details.
  • Response curve support. Configurable from 1.0 (linear) to 3.0 (cubed).
  • Deadzone support. Stick magnitude is remapped properly for precise control. Two deadzone types are available: axial or radial (default).
  • Independent adjustment of forward, strafe, turn, and look sensitivity.
  • Optional extra sensitivity at outer threshold of analog stick, with a configurable ramp time.
  • Optional diagonal movement correction. Remaps circular analog input to a square to account for Doom's unique diagonal movement.
  • "Run" switches between two speeds for turning and looking, similar to existing forward and strafe behavior.
  • Axes configuration is simplified to 4 presets (default, swap, legacy, legacy swap).
• Add auto "strafe50" option.
• Menu overhaul. Retains the classic Doom menu, supports original graphics and 320x200 in the revamped Boom/MBF options menu.
  • Implement mouse controls for all menu elements.
  • Tabs for fast page switching.
  • Rearrange menu items for simplicity and faster navigation.
  • Don't limit menus to 35 fps.
  • Introduce Automap color presets - Vanilla, Boom (default) and ZDoom.
  • Don't disable menu items during demo playback.
• HUD widgets improvements.
  • Show smart kill count in stats widget (from DSDA-Doom).
  • Remove kills percent from level stats widget.
  • "Use" button timer.
  • Add key binding to toggle level stats and time.
• Integration of the NanoBSP node builder by Andrew Apted. Run using the -bsp parameter to fix various problems, e.g. slime trails (not demo compatible).
• Implement per-PWAD savegame directories and "Organize Save Files" QOL option. Will be enabled by default if no saves are found in the source port's directory.
• Fade in sounds to prevent clicking. Applies to sounds that start at a non-zero initial amplitude (e.g. all original Doom sounds).
• Apply brightmaps to translucent and translated columns (thanks to @JNechaevsky).
• Adapt Eternity Engine's smooth Automap line drawing approach.
• Add "Blink Missing Keys" option.
• Improve logging to terminal.
• Add ability to set SDL render driver (sdl_renderdriver in config).
• Don't autoload from doom-all folder for FreeDoom and miniwad.

Bug Fixes

• Fix for Hexen flowing water from DSDA-Doom (fixes midtex bleeding in "Eviternity II RC5.wad" MAP18).
• Fix crash on Chex intermission.
• Report (and secure) weaponinfo overruns.
• Fix overflow hiding distant sprites (from DSDA-Doom).
• Fix level stats widget string overflow.
• IDDQD: fix reviving if god mode was already enabled (thanks to @tomas7770).
• UMAPINFO:
  • Fix music when using -skisec.
  • Behavior of endpic and secretexit are now compatible with PrBoom+/DSDA-Doom.
  • Fix off-center level names on intermission screen.
  • Update forgotten nextsecret map entry (fix secret exit in NERVE.WAD).
  • Fix episode selection for nightmare skill.
• Automap:
  • Do not highlight monster-only teleporter lines.
  • Fix initial min/max automap zoom factor.
  • Fix key-locked one-sided lines getting colored on automap.
• No horizontal padding for Vanilla HUD widgets.
• Fix Max Health setting in Dehacked using vanilla complevel.
• Optimize HUD widget erasing, avoid flicker when screen size is reduced.
• Fix MIDI looping with native macOS player.

Miscellaneous

• Remove non-functioning "interpolation fix" for multiplayer. The -oldsync parameter is recommended for uncapped mode at the expense of latency.
• Default player name is "Player". Change using net_player_name config setting.
