Download Doomsday Engine Download Free – 2.3.1

id Software’s Doom pioneered the modern first-person shooter genre. Released in 1993, it was a quantum leap in game engine technology with fluid and – at the time – incredibly realistic 3D graphics.

While you can still enjoy the original Doom and its progeny today in an emulator, modern games are held to higher standards for visual fidelity, ease of use, and multiplayer features. The Doomsday Engine exists to update the technology of these classic games while retaining the core gameplay experience.

Characteristics:

• UI Game profiles and additional options. Multiplayer server browser. In-game overlay with configuration options and console message.
• Graphics Particle effects and dynamic lighting. Blooming and vignette effects. Geometry-based occlusion in the surroundings. Supports 3D models for objects (FBX, MD5) and cloud boxes. Upscaling texture filter. Stereoscopic rendering modes.
• Sound 3D sound effects and reverb (FMOD plugin). Supports music plugins (MP3) and FluidSynth for high quality MIDI music (Unix only).
• Multiplayer Automatic detection of LAN servers. Main server for public games. Tools for running servers in the background.
• Technology Portable code built on Qt 5 and OpenGL.

What is new:

• Heretics: Sky textures are only partially visible.
• Hexen: Sky textures are dimensioned incorrectly.
• Adjustment of floor/ceiling textures if size is not 64×64.
• macOS: Missing and flickering textures on M1 Macs.
• macOS: Bullets fire in the wrong direction on M1 Macs.
• macOS: 3D camera mode does not allow flying downwards, only upwards on M1 Macs.

New functions

DOOM render hack. TNT: Evilution and The Plutonia Experiment use several rendering/map hacks to take advantage of the quirks of the original DOOM renderer. Many of these effects are now supported (or fixed) in Doomsday. Examples: TNT MAP02 deep water, TNT MAP02 windows overlooking the deep water, TNT MAP09 transparent window, TNT MAP31 Arachnotrons inside pillars.

Scripting. Several new Doomsday Script bindings were added, providing access to game, player, and item properties. In addition to creating things, one can now list things by type, check their state and flags, and perform state changes on them. Things can also have an “On death” script that runs when the thing dies. Bitwise operators are now available in scripts.

Modding. Rename Sprite is supported via DeHackEd. In Heretic, ambient sound sequences can be redefined and new ones can be added via the Audio module. It is also possible to change the sequences during gameplay. The earthquake effect from Hexen is now also available in Heretic. It can be controlled via script.

Renders. The player’s HUD weapon models can specify a custom FOV value for rendering, giving model authors more control over their appearance, for example to recreate a 2D sprite look more faithfully.

Corrections

• Color adjustments are applied via shaders, making it possible to change only the appearance of the game view and not the entire screen. This allows color adjustments to be applied when running in windowed mode.
• Fixed how looking up and down affects bullet trajectories. Previously, bullets were clustered too closely together when firing at steep angles.
• Fixed use of newlines in text definitions.
• Fixed alpha blending of contours when using external images. There used to be a visible contour along the contours.
• Heretic’s Phoenix Rod flame effect was too bright.
• Fixed warnings about “view-cross-width” having an invalid value. The default value was out of bounds. Note that your existing configuration may still have an invalid value, so a warning may appear. If so, adjust the crosshair width setting in Options > HUD.
• The TGA image loader now supports 8-bit and mileage encoded images.
• The FPS limit setting is available even when no game is loaded. The “refresh-rate-maximum” variable was removed; you will receive a warning about this after upgrading.
