19-MAR-18:
+ PSX DOOM now resets weapons between 'episodes'
+ Added bloom effect to Doomed Space Wars ("spacwars.wad")

compatibility. A UI interface is being built up which includes functions for

reducing the complexity of printing the formatted lines there
* "The Given" updated to final release. Adds a Low-Detail mode.
This needs to be added to the page I think
* mods have been moved outside of wads folder, this will help in the future
with the custom launcher

method of processing

"dead.air", "dead.wire" and "ALIENS (TC) 2017"
* Fixed "play.bat" parsing of multiple `/REQ` tags (uses ":" now),
using "," or ";" are treated as parameter separators in batch!

+ Added "Return to Hadron Episode 2" WAD page
+ Added "TNT: Revilution" WAD page
21-DEC-17:
+ "brightmaps.pk3" & "lights.pk3" (GZDoom), or "skulltag_actors.pk3" &
"skulltag_data.pk3" (Zandronum) inserted automatically, before the PWAD,
allowing these to be correctly replaced by the PWAD
- Removed the insertion of "brightmaps.pk3" / "lights.pk3" from play.bat,
as these would come _after_ the PWAD, causing potential problems
19-DEC-17:
+ Added GZDoom versions 0.9 to 2.1!
+ Added a build target for just the launcher ("doom.bat" / "play.bat")
+ Added "Rise of the Wool Ball" WAD page

+ Added "Shadows of the Nightmare Realm" WAD page
10-DEC-17:
+ Began work on the Cacoward 2017
+ Added "lilith.pk3" WAD page
04-DEC-17:
+ Added The Darkening E2 WAD page
* Upgraded GZDoom latest to 3.2.3
01-NOV-17:
* Moved asking user for skill-level from play.bat to doom.bat since doom.bat
has better knowledge of what game / engine is being used
29-OCT-17:
+ Added a PSX DOOM TC package
23-OCT-17:
* Updated GZDoom to 3.2.1
* Updated Skulldash to Expanded Edition
12-OCT-17:
+ Added "Aliens TC" & "Aliens (TC) 2017" WAD pages
11-OCT-17:
+ IWAD, PWAD and all other files given to doom.bat are checked for in multiple
locations, consistently. These directories are, in order of precedence:
= The previous directory used
= The 'current directory' doom.bat was called from
= The PWAD's directory, if a PWAD was selected
= The IWAD's directory
= The base "/wads" directory
= The engine's directory (for things like "lights.pk3")
+ Added "/DEH" & "/BEX" switches to doom.bat, removing the ability to load
DeHackEd files from the files list. This was done for more reliable behaviour
between engines, and for easing potential future improvements

* Fixed broken PWAD GOG/Steam detection!
08-OCT-17:
+ Added Index page to Cacowards 2016
07-OCT-17:

+ Fixed inconsistent naming of "50 Shades of Graytall" ("a", not "e" in "gray")
+ Added "Tantrum" & "Tantrum 2" WAD pages
+ Added "Cabal Series" WAD pages
* play.bat will no longer default to DOOM2.WAD if "/IWAD" parameter is missing.
doom.bat will handle the default based on the selected engine
* Rewrite of doom.bat parameter handling & logic; parameters are no longer
position dependent and instead use switches, i.e. "/IWAD" /"PWAD"
+ Added support for ".ipk3" & ".IWAD" file extensions
+ Added "/CMPLVL" support to set prboom compatibility level
+ Added "/WARP" to warp to a level number
+ Added "/SKILL" to set difficulty level
+ Added "/EXEC" to load additional engine parameters from a file;
this prevents the permenant changing of config files by the launch scripts
04-OCT-17:

- Removed separate "UPX Compress DOOM Engines" script and re-integrated it back
into "Build.bat"

* Build script improved to allow choosing which release to build
03-OCT-17:

and "DTWID", "D2TWID" & "DTWID-LE" to "megawads"
* Moved "Strange Aeons" from "megawads" to "conversions"
01-OCT-17:
+ Added "Mordeth" WAD page
30-SEP-17:
+ Added PortaDOOM_5YearsOfDoom package (incomplete)
+ Expanded "5 Years of Doom" section; still incomplete
+ Added Tim Willits' "The Complete Raven Series" WAD page
+ Added Maclom Sailor's "NoSun Series" & "Chord Series" WAD pages
+ Linking between pages in the same set now more intelligently handles history.
Pressing BKSP will return to the original page number, but navigating left or
right to a different page will now forget the jump from a different page and
BKSP will now take you out of the page-set
* Changed `/LEVEL` to `/WARP` in play.bat to better reflect DOOM terminology
29-SEP-17:
* "Master Levels for DOOM II" combined into a single page-set.
You can now switch between levels much more easily
* "misc" folder renamed to "people" and "olnoname" moved into
"people\Octavarium" accordingly
28-SEP-17:
+ Pages now support alternate coloured themes
26-SEP-17:
+ Added skill level names for Heretic & Strife in play.bat
(support for shareware and Hexen to be added in the future)
25-SEP-17:
+ Added a glossary page
24-SEP-17:
+ Added navigation titles & categories
+ Right-alignment was added to DOSmag; some minor page reformatting
* Moved "demos" folder out of "wads"
22-SEP-17:
+ DOOM3 BFG WADs are now automatically patched!
+ Added demos to Cacowards 2015
(had to hunt these down manually)
* Fixed GZDoom-hardware being listed as a choice in play.bat when requirement
was software only
* Fixed "InstaDoom" launch scripts
21-SEP-17:
* Improved tab handling in page formatting. tabs were changed to 4 in DOSmag,
so the pages were reformatted to use actual tabs instead of spaces
20-SEP-17:
+ Added demo playback (`-playdemo`) support to scripts
+ Added speedrun demos on Cacowards 2016
18-SEP-17:
* Merged "iwads" & "pwads" folders into a single "wads" folder
(there are quite a few community IWADs out there)
* Harmony & FreeDOOM were moved to "conversions"
16-SEP-17:
+ DOSmag now syncs columns between source and screen when encountering at least
two spaces or more. This allows easy formatting of columns in the source,
without having to manually manage spacing differences between source & screen
14-SEP-17:
+ Added a warning dialogue box when launching a URL so that you can see the URL
and cancel if desired. No more sudden unexpected browser pop-up!
11-SEP-17:
+ Added "DOOM(4) DooM" WAD page. The WAD isn't included yet due to no
infrastructure to properly support gameplay-only mods
* Change to play.bat to favour GZDoom-software over PRBoom+ software.
This is a quick work-around for a compatibility issue with Alpha Accident
that needs to be resolved more fully in the future
* "DTWiD", "D2TWiD" moved to "classical"
Whilst megawads, "classical" will hold vanilla WADs specifically replicating
the original DOOM style
* Some fixes to Master Levels launch scripts
* Fix in doom.bat for file paths containing spaces
10-SEP-17:
+ Add "Doom The Way id Did - The Lost Levels" WAD page
+ play.bat can now force Chocolate-Doom with `/REQ choco`
* Fixed up the UPX compression script
* "config\edit_defaults.bat" was not deleting z-engine config files correctly
09-SEP-17:
+ Added "Ludicrium" WAD page
+ Added "Aeon Deathmatch", "32in24-16" WAD pages
* Redone some of the default configs
- Cleaned out "mods" folder. Until a proper mod-loader is created,
there's no point carrying this extra weight around
- Removed multiplayer WADs
There's no method to simply launch a server list with a WAD filter already
applied, so it's a waste of space to include these WADs in the package
- Removed Zandronum-3 from Cacowards 2016 bundle. Since multiplayer WADs are no
longer being included, we do not need to ship Zandronum. Cacowards 2015 still
requires it for Skull Dash.
07-SEP-17:
+ Added "Shadow of the Wool Ball" WAD page
+ Added "Echelon" WAD page
+ Added "Strange Aeons" WAD page
03-SEP-17:
+ Added `/SW` option to doom.bat to use a software renderer where possible.
doom.bat no longer treats HW & SW engines as separate engines, instead
favouring hardware rendering unless software mode is requested
- Removed ZDoom (deprecated).
GZDoom can be launched in software-mode instead
02-SEP-17:
+ Added "Bloodstain" WAD page
+ Allow specific use of shareware files in play.bat
* Fixed "Adventures of Square" launch script
01-SEP-17:
+ Added "THT: Threnody" WAD page
+ Added "Warp House" WAD page
+ Added "Blade of Agony" WAD page
* Fixed "50 Shades of Greytall" launch script
(software renderer must be used)
* "Singles" renamed to "Onesies"
* "Strange Aeons" moved from "episodes" to "megawads"
- Removed ability to exclude file-extensions from PWADs/files in doom.bat.
This was becoming way too complex with the increasing number of locations
31-AUG-17:
+ Added Steam "HERETIC.WAD" & "HEXEN.WAD" detection
30-AUG-17:
+ Added "Japanese Community Project" WAD page
+ Added "Alpha Accident: Terra Nova" WAD page
+ Added "Miasma" WAD page
+ Added "Comatose" WAD page
+ Added "Elf Gets Pissed" WAD page
(this is a Heretic PWAD)
+ Added "Absolutely Killed" WAD page
+ Added "Mutiny" WAD page
28-AUG-17:
+ Created Cacowards 2016 package
+ Added `/CMPLVL` to play.bat to set compatibility level on PRBoom+
+ Added "HERETIC" & "HEXEN" IWAD support to play.bat
26-AUG-17:
+ Created Cacowards 2015 package
- Exclude PRBoom+ screenshots from repository
25-AUG-17:
+ Added GOG DOOM 3 BFG Edition support
* Fixed launch scripts for IWADs
* Fixed broken logic on relative/absolute paths in doom.bat
