![]() ![]() For heretic, crispy heretic is quite good, but heretic wads often require or are intended for the zdoom environment, so it gets use there as well. I would use the term "final" rather than dead! □įor speedruns on wads requiring zdoom+ we recommend indeed to use this final zdoom version instead of gzdoom / etc (when possible). Kraf brings up a good point I forgot to mention in that zdoom lacks speedrunning features, and more importantly to at least my use, demo playback features, which makes watching a zdoom demo (especially a long one) frustrating and time-consuming. A large part of me hates to say that because port choices for heretic speedruns/demos (and even map formats) are abysmal and it would be so convenient to be able to use like a zdoom for it, but it would take so many code rollbacks that one would prolly be better off forking one of the existing demo compatible ports and adding new age stuff to it. It will, however, see a lot of use for demo stuffs with new sets that want something more than vanilla for heretic (of which the port options are scarce) like The Wayfarer, which cannot run in ports that dont support zdoom, but again that basically is only talking about vanilla, choco, and crispy :/ This is a nice thought, but I honestly dont see zdoom becoming a standard for *general* heretic runs until it can 1: at least maintain demo compatibility with other ports and 2: present a level playing field for runners among other ports. Because ZDoom 2.8.1 has Heretic support, it could be used in this manner. Custom demo-focused ports of ZDoom 2.8.1 when? )Īnother user case might be the Heretic running community, by and so on. Who knows, but i can't wait to see what people do with this. Perhaps they are not yet aware of ZDoom's full feature set that way, or even the sheer fact its discontinued and the last version is slowly becoming a standard? Finding another use for the discontinued port is promising prospect, and i am eager to see if people will take up on it. ![]() Surprisingly the idea of seeing ZDoom in this capacity is an exciting thing. Perhaps a merger of the best bits of PrBoom and ZDoom 2.8.1 could be considered - PrZDoom, anyone? )Īnother user case might be the Heretic running community, by and so on. Users that now rely on PrBoom+ or use a custom made variant of it should now have an additional tool to study upon. This could mean something significant for the more obvious Doom cases but also others: Reason being that its now a fixed platform of some sorts. ZDoom has been used in that community for some time already as you know. That's an interesting highlight, and what says - ZDoom 2.8.1 could be an ideal starting point for demo coders and runners. Zdoom 2.8.1 has also become the only version or port in the zdoom family of ports that is at all sane to speedrun or make demos with due to its demo support finally being stable from being discontinued, so maybe there are some reasons to still use zdoom over gzdoom p ![]()
