PrBoomX

JadingTsunami's PrBoom-Plus Fork

This is my own personal fork of PrBoom-Plus. It contains quality-of-play upgrades that I like and you may or may not.

Installation

• Latest release
• Development builds

Install PrBoom-Plus and place the binaries for prboomX alongside your prboom-plus executable. Run the prboomX executable to launch prboomX instead. Your PrBoom-Plus configuration and save data will not be affected; you can run both in parallel.

Windows users: You need the dependencies here for Windows. The DLLs are in the bin/ folder. Copy them somewhere in your PATH or alongside the other DLLs in your PrBoom-Plus/PrBoomX folder.

Features

• Zip file support
  • Note all WAD/DEH/BEX in the zip will be loaded
• Drop-down console (default key bind: ~)
  • 16-command history, use up/down arrows
  • Cheats work in the console
  • Tab completion for commands/settings/cheats
  • Command listing below
• "Buddha" cheat similar to GZDoom
• Targeted massacre cheat: tntsem
  • Kills only monsters currently targeting the player
• Optional uncapped framerate limiting
• Option to organize save games based on loaded content (WAD, DEH, etc.)
  • Note the order in which content is loaded matters
• Option to skip QuickSave/QuickLoad confirmation prompt
• Option to skip save confirmation message
• Option to fix the Blockmap bug (uses blockmap bug fix from Terry Hearst, adapted from similar PR for Woof)
• Option to allow things to move over/under other things (see Defined CVARs section)
• Option to change player automap arrow to a chevron shape (easier to see direction at a distance)
• Option to announce reaching 100% kills, items and/or secrets
• COMPLVL lump support for supported compatibility levels
• Note-taking console command
  • Jot down quick notes while playtesting. Notes go into a dated text file in the current working directory.
  • Each note lists the time, all loaded WAD files, player position, and an optional user-supplied message on the console.
  • Example: note demon is stuck in the wall here.
  • NEW: noteshot will include screenshots of the screen and automap. Useful if you will post your feedback to forum threads, discord channels, etc.
• Time Warp: Travel forward and backwards in time while playing.
  • Time travel even if you died or made it to a new level.
  • Enable Time Warp in the PrBoomX options screen
  • May cause performance issues on older machines or on large levels.
  • Press '[' (default) to travel back in time
  • Press ']' (default) to travel forward in time
  • Stay too long in the past, and your old future will no longer be reachable.
  • Timelines can be saved to or loaded from a file
  • Timelines autoload when present and matching the loaded WAD content
  • Timeline can be autosaved on exit
  • Be warned! Time travel can be quite disorienting...
• Bind keys to console commands
  • Console command: bind [key] [command]
  • To unbind: unbind [key]
  • Binds stored in prboomx_console.cfg
  • Keys can be bound to multiple actions (just bind the same key more than once)
  • Key modifiers can NOT be used for key binds; e.g., Ctrl-X not possible, Shift-X not possible, etc.
  • Only "lowercase" keys (nothing with "SHIFT" pressed) can be bound
  • Keys already bound to other actions may or may not work (a warning will appear when you first bind it)
• Optional enhancements to the allmap powerup:
  • Secrets in undiscovered parts of the map are bright yellow
  • Secrets in discovered parts of the map are bright purple
  • Found secrets are dark purple
  • Lines can't be hidden from the map
  • Tag finder: Pressing "X" while in nofollow highlights the sector or line under the crosshair and shows the activating line/sector if any.
    • This lets you figure out what switches do or uncover how to open secrets if you are stuck.
    • Tag finder requires either having the Computer Area Map powerup or be cheating with iddt.

Changes to any CVARs in this list are saved on exit. In the console, set to 0 or unset a CVAR to remove it from your personal config. set a CVAR to 1 to enable it.

Example: set overunder 1

• showfps (default: off) - Show current FPS in the upper-right corner.
• r_drawplayersprites (default: on) - Same meaning as the same-named GZDoom CVAR
• overunder (default: off) - Allow things to move over/under other things (adapted from Crispy Doom and Nugget Doom)
• announce_100p_max (default: off) - Announce when 100% kills, items, and secrets has been achieved.
