I have made a script which allows you to extract Alien World Order from WT and create a separate groupfile which can be run without Steam. The next Raze release (after v1.0.1) will support the standalone groupfile created with this script (worldorder.grp) natively, making the creation process a lot easier (e.g. no need to choose your Duke3D version or copying the CRC32 hash into the grpinfo). The updated script will be released once Raze has been updated. Will keep you posted.

Hot damn NightFright!

Actually, in relation to the Voxel Packs. Would it be possible for raze to someday detect

includeif

in relation to voxels. Is it even possible with raze? AFAIK BuildGDX already does this with the upscale pack (not sure if Raze does this as well) but it would be pretty cool as an end user not having to un comment Caribbean voxel pack everytime I want to use it.

Raze has its own method for dealing with expansion specific content

Quote

Raze already has the same content filtering system as GZDoom.
So for Blood:
Put a file in filter/blood - loads for all variants of Blood.
Put it in filter/blood.blood - only loads for the base game
Put it in filter/blood.cryptic - only loads with Cryptic Passage.
Similar setups exist for all known add-ons.

[jkas789]

Ok, there really needs to be a idiot proof guide to installing addons and mods for Raze.

[NightFright]

So far the main method is: Drag the mod (zipfile) onto raze.exe, be sure to have the correct game selected and see what gives. I am sure more sophisticated mod handling will be implemented at some point later on.

I am dreaming of the awesome ingame addon menu in BloodGDX. Select an ini (e.g. deathwish.ini), have a zipfile with all the data in the same dir (e.g. deathwish.zip), works.

[jkas789]

That would be nice, although I would be a bit more partial to something along the lines of ZDL and co.

Question: Has anyone gotten to work the Roland 55 Music pack with raze? I seem to have difficulties getting the music to play.

[MusicallyInspired]

I haven't even tried Raze yet so I couldn't tell you.

[NightFright]

Raze 1.0.2 has just been released which supports worldorder.grp generated with my script natively. I will post the updated script with adjustments for this release on Monday.

[NightFright]

Version 1.1 of the "Alien World Order" script is now available.

[NightFright]

Updated to v1.2. You can now optionally copy over duke3d.grp from World Tour and automatically convert it to Atomic Edition. This seemed to make sense since Raze expects Atomic Edition and has this dependency set up internally, so with the WT file you might run into problems.

[NightFright]

Updated to v1.21. Looks like the pickup message for keycards is commented out in WT's game.con for some reason. With this new release, it will be displayed again.

The first preview of the new renderer is available!

This has been worked on behind the scenes for a few weeks, and it is time to reveal the first preview.
This is mainly to get feedback on maps with render tricks so that we can add/improve support for them, so don't expect anything revolutionary. There are no advanced render effects yet in this version, aside from skybox support. We first need to get all the basics working before going all wild on cool stuff.

Official Raze website (still under construction): https://raze.zdoom.org/
Official release post: https://forum.zdoom....p?f=347&t=72071
Download path: https://github.com/c.../0.10.0-preview

Notable changes to Polymost:

• fully polygonal renderer, no more projection weirdness.
  
• skies are rendered as a dome, like GZDoom
  
• skyboxes defined in .DEF are functional.
  
• this renderer completely abandons the original concept of overlaying scenes for portal effects - all portals and mirrors are drawn within the primary scene for better control and less visual issues.
  
• 'toggle testnewrenderer' switches between Polymost and the new renderer for quick comparisons.

Notes, known limitations and issues:

• no advanced effects have been implemented yet, the only new feature is the abovementioned skybox support.
  
• Models are not functional yet. Voxels are supported, though.
  
• sky rendering may require a bit of finetuning, but should be acceptable for most existing maps.
  
• there is one known render glitch in Cryptic Passage map CP07 which is still under investigation. This may affect more maps with overlapping sector effects, so we'd like to ask to check out known maps with such features.
  
• performance has not been optimized yet, so don't expect any notable improvements to Polymost here.

And it's gone lol

[mjr4077au]

The branch is still available. Graf and M210 were in communication and there's some extra considerations that need to be made regarding the clipper before it's ready for further testing, mostly for complexities on E2L11.

If anyone wants a binary, I'm more than happy to share but there'll be some refactoring taking place in the mean time.

Figured out how to use the Roland 55 pack with raze. Turns out I had done the same with eduke32 but because I'm a idiot taco boy I had forgotten.

To those interested:

You have to match the path in music.def with the actual install.

So in my case I case I created a extra folder inside my Duke Nukem folder named highres. And then I created another one named music. Dumped the contents of the Roland 55 pack in there. Then I went back to the root of the Duke Nukem data folder (Which in my case is inside the Raze root install. So Raze/DukeNukem/highres/music) created a def file called roland55.def with this inside:

include highres/music/music.def

Then included roland55.def inside my duke3d-raze.def:

include roland55.def

Easy Peasy.

[jkas789]

I have confirmed that I'm more retarded than I ever though I could be.

The above post is a more convoluted way to use the Roland 55 Pack.

if you create a music folder, and drop the ogg files in there (the Duke 3D, Caribbean and Nuclear winter ogg files) Raze plays them when you run the game without any def file use.

[The Battlelord]

Does anyone did try the new renderer and found any difference? Maybe am toggling it the wrong way in the console -> toggle testnewrenderer

The sky would look different. The new renderer has the GZDoom style skydome.

On old firefox, sure. On quantum? not so much. I also love firefox but I think it is going the way of the dodo and so already switched to google for my everyday use and TOR for my paranoid days.

You know TOR is a Firefox fork, right?

Using these two together is not only a contradiction but abandoning Firefox without reasonable logic only contributes to it's "demise". It's the only open source browser left and utilizing it's own engine. All the rest are already google chromium based and even microshaft gave up with the EOL of internat explorer jumping ship with "Edge".

Having google as a monopoly in complete control of internet standards with no competition is extremely dangerous. Just look into the "flock" protocol they have been trying to implement.

optional advanced weapon interpolation for Blood
GLES backend for better low end hardware support
enabled the text screens when quitting Duke and SW.

fixed bad serializers for vec2_t and vec3_t.
Exhumed: Avoid masking bits into the sector index as well.
Exhumed: Avoid masking sound flags into the sprite index.
Exhumed: fixed sound origin in DoRegenerates.

Attempt to fix music replacement definitions again. Store per-map music replacements in a TMap, and perform the replacements after parsing the MAPINFO
do not crash on badly defined walls where the end point is missing.
core shader override block, backported from GZDoom.
Blood: fixed super secret notification on the level summary screen.
Duke: fixed some incorrect cutscene playback speeds.
SW: fixed recursive saving of panel sprites
clear pspAsArray at the beginning of a save/load operation, not at the end.
SW: avoid crashing when unwinding from a savegame loading error.
Duke: fixed a few places using a sprite index where a player index is needed.
Duke: don't process input when not in a game.
Duke/RR: Fix clearing of weapons for RRRA E2L2 that should only be done for RR.
Fixed bug collecting lifeleech with ignited tnt/spray
Skip CheckProximityWall when newSectCheckMethod is set
Blood: don't abort the INI scanner if it finds a file with resource file index 0.
Remove early return from `GrpScan()` that was allowing addons to come through even if they weren't valid.

Fix issues with self collision on MoveMissile()
Add modern map kViewEffectSpotProgress support
Blood: Fix handling of QAVs defined as loopable while interpolating.

call ColorMatcher.Pick instead of BestColor when remapping a voxel.
avoid calling the node builder to triangulate degenerate sectors.
Duke: fixed sound lists for E4 intro cutscene.
Exhumed: fixed bad arguments of BuildGameoverScene.
Tweaked next/prev weapon behavior underwater
flag SW's cutscenes as 'boss death only'.
Fix ignited spray/TNT issue when going underwater
added means to define resource IDs in all container formats allowing long file names.

adapted cheat input handler to treat spaces as '0' when entering parts of numeric fields.
Blood: fixed parser for 'mario' cheat to treat a leading space for the level number as 0.
Rides Again: Possible array index by -1 in Proj_DoHitscan(). Added check to prevent this.
handle newly activated 'unused' fields properly for serialization.
Build: Change `MAXSPRITESONSCREEN` from constant of 2560 to 1/4 of MAXSPRITES. Mods like Blood's Eviction are pushing these limits hard. Bumping the onscreen limit resolved recurring crash on `sstation.map` with no apparent ill-effects.
Blood: Add some nullptr checks to the `aiPatrol*()` inline bools.
Blood: Fix ammo colour for status bar and first fullscreen HUD.

Pass the missing fullscreen flag when creating a Vukan window.
SW: Remove `gi->FreeGameData()` from game as its inside code wasn't freeing game data but level data already freed in `gi->FreeLevelData()`.
Capitalise `CPART07.AR_` and `CPART15.AR_` in `ProcessOptions()`. The original files are in capitals and this is important as POSIX systems are case-sensitive. We can't cater towards every use-case but this should cover most bases.
Duke: Ensure `gi->NextLevel()` sets the skill level upon invocation.
Ensure `g_nextskill` is used everywhere so that setting skill for next level works properly.
Blood: Capitalise `Blood` for 1.0 and 1.1 grpinfo definitions for consistency.

Blood: Make delirium rotscrnang smoother with use of more precision.
Blood: Fix angle issues with NHIS.
Blood: Add nullptr check for `actor2` in `ProcessTouchObjects()`.
Fix menu strings and missing class declaration for `VideoOptions`.
added 'endofgame' CCMD. Not really good yet, but it does what's needed, i.e. write out the statistics for the current session.
Exhumed: Move key display on `DrawHUD2()` to accommodate larger ammo display for M60 with `cl_showmagamt 1` from 2a8e636066f475681c504dee98662fc04c8e0e3f.
Exhumed: Extend 7b8dcde5d24ef60b03b0067fc530d5f65b5da00c by showing the M60's clip/magazine amount available when `cl_showmagamt 1` is set.
Exhumed: Move pistol clip/magazine recalculation code that was added in 593bbe10efc429d9615aebce0c38cb0aba03092f from `FillWeapons()` to `CheckClip()`.
Exhumed: Change M60's clip/magazine capacity from 99 to 100 to better match the max ammo capacity of the weapon. This does not increase the player's available ammunition.
Exhumed: Make `FillWeapons()` fill the ammo count to the maximum allowed by the game for all weapons (300).
allow palette emulation for indexed hightiles.
support for indexed hightiles.
Allow CON-based games to have multiplayer episodes filtered from menu.
Exhumed: Ensure `FillWeapons()` recalculates the pistol clip amount after filling.
Exhumed: Make use of `cl_showmagamt`.
relaxed consistency checks for VOC files. Rampage Warrior contains a few sounds that failed validation so this check does not exist in the original 3D Realms sound code.
Blood: fixed order of initialization for voxels. Just like Shadow Warrior it needs to load its voxel table before .def files.
fixed texture lookup for hightile lookup. Not all commands had the proper flags to also look in the root folder.
SW: Create inline function `pspPresentRetractScale()` to scale the rate at which weapons present and retract based on the current tile's height vs. the original asset's height.
fixed crash when parsing malformed .def file
Remove some remains of Redneck Deer Huntin'.
Use `isWW2GI()` in more places.
Use `isNamWW2GI()` in more places.
Use `isRR()` in more places.
Use the new `isSWALL()` wrapper everywhere.
SW: Set default skill level to match original release and what the manual says is default.
SW: Ensure `PANEL_SPRITEstruct`'s `ox`/`oy` values are in the save data.
SW: Declare and initialise variables in `pWeaponBob()` vs declaring and initialising later on to reduce warnings about variables being uninitialised.
Optimise `fFindDistance2D()` to multiply by inverse rather than divide by a constant.
SW: Rename `cl_smoothsway` to `cl_swsmoothsway` and enable by default
SW: Factor out bob coordinate backups.
SW: Factor out panel interpolation backups;
SW: Factor out repeated panel coordinate math into inline functions.
SW: Remove fixed-point math from panel x/y coordinate updating.
allow external replacements of SW's 3D Realms logo to use their own palette.
disable texture name truncation for textures/ directory.
don't attempt to decode animation frames at offsets beyond the end of the current page.
SW: Promote `PANEL_SPRITEstruct`'s `xorig`/`yorig` values from int to double to match `x`/`ox` and `y`/`oy` respectively.
zero-terminate the buffer for reading Blood's INI files.
dynamically adjust SW's menu spacing based on language.

No worries at all! I know interest is probably low here but we're making good strides at the moment. The actor refactoring stuff is a huge change. In a work branch we've removed all of Build's hard limits that were because of its 16-bit design and we're getting started on the renderer again as well, there's good times ahead.

Raze 1.4.0 has been released. The new renderer is now at a point where it's the default, actor limits have been abolished, bloom and SSAO can now be enabled, and a snazzy new usermap browser has been added.
