squashware-1.2
  • There is now a second, bootable DOOF disk image. A machine started with this disk in the drive boots to a minimal version of SVARDOS, which automatically extracts the game files to a RAM disk and starts the game.
  • Music tracks have been simplified to remove some volume change events. Some tracks - notably D_E1M8 - make a lot of continual volume adjustments that take up a lot of space. Reducing the number of them that is barely noticeable and reduces the IWAD size by over 60KiB.
  • LZMA compression is now used for UPX compressed .exe files.
  • The self-extracting .lzh archives now use -lh6- compression.
  • E1M9 has been rebuilt with ZokumBSP to reduce its size.
  • Missing Player 3/4 start points got added back to levels.
  • There are now "poor man's" weapons for the 1-level WAD that make things marginally more playable if you use the cheats to give yourself all weapons.
  • The build system was radically overhauled: a Makefile is now used instead of a shell script, and the different WADs are assembled in a more modular way that starts from a minimal "kernel" WAD and adds to it.
  • SKY1 is now built from a smaller patch.
  • BRICK02 and BRICK03 have been merged into a single texture.
