A new version of Vavoom has been released. This version fixes some known problems and it has even more improved Strife support.

No mirrors seem to work

by **Janis Legzdinsh** » 18 Oct 2004 15:20

Yeah, it takes some time untill files are updated to all mirrors.

These are great news! Don't think I have forgot my promise of making the skyboxes for the Doom games, I have them almost finished, you'll get them one of these days I have enough time to pack it all up and send it to you Janis :wink:

Great news Janis.
Could you briefly list the Strife changes - playable until levelx etc.
Is there savegame compatibility from last version?
Thx

by **CheapAlert** » 18 Oct 2004 22:16

HEAnet works

/me gets now

------
edit: You didn't put windowed mode in the launcher it seems O_O

Also doom2 runs hella fast.
Hexen is a bit more playable but still goes around 30fps on here.

I didn't update launcher yet.

In Strife all of the monsters should work (more or less). Also several line special fixes such as Blackbird's voice playd when needed. I played untill killing Programmer, but then I made some changes that made savegame incompatible and I didn't had time to play it all again. But it should go much further.

Just tried the DOS version... is that stuttery movement known of in that?

(Win version is smooth, DOS ain't)

by **Janis Legzdinsh** » 20 Oct 2004 14:27

It's completely framerate dependant. I have an idea how to improve it.

I seem to remember reading something about Vavoom sky problems - just checked old and new versions with strife - sky definitely is more seemless with 1.15.3 until you look directly up where it all crinkles together into a wrapped join.
Regardless the changes work well and once again Strife has another new lease on life thanks to Janis- i notice that there are now debug messages appearing at top of screen though - e.g. "quest 2 needed".
Thx for the time you put into this Janis - much appreciated.

Yeah, sky was the main problem people were complaining about.

Congratulations on this release -1.15.3 - much improved over previous version. Music and Sound sliders independent, animated flats, better skies. Excellent !

About complaining... Support for throwing inventory away is important for me, too (think of the chalice, I don't want to carry that one anymore after killing Harris). And I'd like to see the keys I own.

But I don't urge you, I'm certain that you will add these details, sooner or later.

by **RambOrc** » 26 Nov 2004 11:31

Why do you pick up the chalice in the first place?

by **LigH** » 26 Nov 2004 11:53

As I documented in my (german) walk-through verbosely (available at dlh.net): First I do the job for the gouvernor. When he is satisfied, he doesn't care about me anymore. Now I can visit Harris, bring him the chalice, kill him - and get access to his hidden treasury.
