A new version is out!

Major changes to the last version include:

- customizable intermission sequences
- more supported music formats (XMI, HMI, HMP)
- better support of Timidity++ for extended MIDI formats
- less quirky jumping code
- major redesign of portal clipping. Problems with one sided lines in portals should be almost completely gone now.

Update: 1.5.05 has been uploaded which fixes some bugs with nonstandard portals and reflective floors.
Update2: 1.5.06 fixes a crash bug with more than 16 portals in a map.

Downloading now. Thank you very much for this Graf and, of course, to Gez for his ongoing maintenance of the code too.

There's already a graphical bug with the reflective floors so I'm afraid I'm going to have to skip this version

Care to give some details? If Graf doesn't know what the problem is, he can't fix it.

There are some odd graphical bugs relating to texture bleeding along various linedefs around floors or ceilings with reflective surfaces. Often the sky or skybox is drawn, even in the complete absence of any f_sky1 texture within the sector or surrounding sectors. Here's a couple of screenshots of versions 1.5.3 and 1.5.5 to illustrate what i mean.

It is really nice to see this project still going, and the GL engine being maintained. Keep up with the developments Graf Zahl!

Reflective planes should work again. But for the one map I know that's affected (Sapphire) I won't do a 1.5.7 release unless something more serious comes along. The next SVN build should be fine.

A build of the fixed SVN version (revision 1106) has been uploaded. Check this link:

http://svn.drdteam.org/gzdoom/

I've tried to get something above r3010 but it won't let me. In the next version could you include the latest SVN? That would really help because then I would be able to use the SECRETS lump.

Also sometimes there's a bug with 3d floors sector where a stream of a non-affected sector gets the 3d floor also. But it's invisible in the stream of non-affected sector.

There is no revision 3010 for GZDoom. The current head revision is 1135 which corresponds to ZDoom r3061.

oh thanks now i'm not as confused

what I mean to say is:
will there be a new version of GZDoom the combines with a version of ZDoom that has a svn build higher the 3010.

Use an SVN build for now. The next GZDoom release will most likely coincide with the next ZDoom version.
