Mac Doom Legacy Updates for OS 9, X
9:11 AM | Andy Largent | Comment on this story
The official Doom Legacy site has been updated with word of a new 1.32b1 release for all of their many represented platforms. The two you're likely most intersted in would be OS 9 and OS X, both of which have been ported by programmer Calum Robinson. While he gave a sneak peak of the OS X version a while back, now it is officially available for both systems. Some improvments include support for Heretic .WADs, lighting improvments, and even 3D floors (very impressive for a 2.5D engine like Doom). Here's a clip from the site with more: Hardware specific enhancements
Some work on the lighting and the coronas with a new cvar for adjusting the size
Improved OpenGL and Glide support
Fixed most of texture problems
Added support for 3D positional sound cards (require DirectX 6 or above)
Multiplayer
Timeout detection and kick player if connection timeout
New menu option : create server and connect server
Use masterserver to detect all servers in the world
Fixed issues with netgame and dehacked
No more palette change in splitscreen
Gameplay
Added 3D-Floors
Added FraggleScript support
Added Heretic support
When solidecorpse is true you can smash it and turn it to giblets
Joystick can be used for free look using joystickfreelook cvar
Misc
Some limitations of the engine removed (memory usage, polypool,...)
New cvars added like scalestatusbar
Added -nodinput command line switch for people having input problem under Win32
Display #SECRETS and #MONSTERS on the overlay
...and the usual bug fix... Initial testing shows this version runs very well under OS X. The previous fullscreen issues seem to have been resolved thanks to the recent 10.0.2 update from Apple. Head over to the Doom Legacy site for some cool 3D shots of the new maps in action. And be sure to check out Macgamefiles to start downloading the files now (at under 3MB for both, they shouldn't be too big of a problem even for slower connections).
