![]() GZDoom is the latest version targeting current systems with modern graphics hardware. Although the parent ZDoom codebase has been discontinued, the latest official release is available here for posterity. Haven't yet tried the others (Plutonia, Tnt, etc.ZDoom now comes in multiple flavours! The primary port, GZDoom, sports advanced hardware (OpenGL) and enhanced software rendering capabilities, while the port LZDoom serves as an alternative with a different feature set, detailed below. I've tried it in a couple of the Pups I've installed Doom in so far, and in both cases it insists there's a 'symbol_lookup_error', so.that one may not be usable. ( EDIT 2:- The Doom 3 WAD file from bigpup's link may be 'problematic'. It would appear that Puppies of this vintage (2013-ish) don't employ sufficiently new enough versions of OpenGL to be able to run even the older 'legacy' versions of GZDoom, unfortunately.) ( EDIT:- ZDoom 2.8.1 also working well in Slacko 560. I've discovered this often means that they're what package managers consider to be 'malformed'.which is why they turn their noses up at 'em.) (Curiously, I, too, found that some of these. (I'm assuming you know where these need to go.)Įntirely up to you, of course. I've also taken all five of the WAD files (from the link bigpup provided) - Doom 1, Doom 2, Doom 3, Plutonia & Tnt - and made them up into an archive, here:. If you're interested, you can find it here, at my Google Drive:. pet won't install for you, then we'll try an SFS package. It also insisted on libSDL2.this was its first complaint in Precise, followed by the bitching about OpenGL when trying the newer versions. I know it's not what you wanted, but it does run. ![]() ![]() pet package of the older ZDoom-2.8.1 for Precise. It's also pretty neat that you can move around simply by means of moving the mouse nice one! I was expecting to have to do everything by means of the keyboard buttons. In GZDoom, I would never have guessed that 'Ctrl' was the 'Fire' button! I was trying 'Enter', 'Space', any number of the alphanumerics.but trying 'Ctrl' didn't enter into my head. However, the final legacy release of the olderZDoom-2.8.1 will run perhaps not that smoothly, though when I tried that one I hadn't yet figured out the controls. The OpenGL implementation in Precise is simply too old for it. I also have gzdoom_legacy-3.5.1 running sweetly in Tahrpup 6.0.6.īut try as I might, even the oldest GZDoom 'legacy' package will not run in Precise 5.7.1. Worth a try!!Īs previously stated, gzdoom_legacy-3.8.1 works nicely in Xenialpup64. I'm going to try one of the older 'legacy' versions in Precise, and see what happens. Never played it, myself, but a mate of mine I used to visit pretty regularly at one time was really into it, and was always playing it on his PS2. (Thanks for the links to the WAD files, BTW, bigpup.) And, after quite a bit of high-speed screen 'flicker', it starts up, good as gold. Long story short, I've installed 'gzdoom-legacy_3.8.1_b', instead. But if you scroll all the way down nearly to the bottom, you start to see another bunch of files, marked 'legacy'. Initially, all you see are a whole bunch of. Sooo.I clicked on the 'Archive' header at the bottom of the downloads. The 64-bit 'current' download, 4.1.3, gave the same result - OpenGL 'too old'.but the resulting dialog failure box suggested trying the 'vintage' version. Complained that OpenGL wasn't new enough, and it couldn't load the OpenGL functions. I'll post back with a d/l link for you when I'm done.ĭidn't work in Precise. And because we're both in the same Pup ATM, it should install OK. So I'll grab that download - assuming I can find it! - and run you up a. (*shrug*)Īnyway I just happen to be in Precise myself 's always been one of my favourite Pups. I don't know owt about compression algorithms & all that malarkey all I am aware of is that later Puppies began using higher compression ratios, and different types of compression.I suspect Precise simply can't handle them. Precise, as you probably know, was BK's last 'official' Puppy before he handed over the reins to Micko, and went off pursuing the 'Quirky' line of research (and curiously, the Precise ISO and stuff is actually in the 'Quirky' sub-directory at Ibiblio, so.) I really wouldn't like to say. ![]() I think it's largely to do with the type of compression used during packing. pet with SFR's UExtract, then to re-pack it in Precise itself, using Trio's PetMaker app.a brilliant Puppy tool, which I've used for some years now. I've found the solution is to unpack the. ![]() pet package in any Puppy more recent than 571, it'll refuse to install, giving a very similar message. I must confess, I've had much the same problem with. ![]()
