1.2.0-prerelease

These are unofficial, prerelease builds of APDoom, being provided as a convenience to resolve persistent crashing issues.

No launcher is included with these prerelease builds. A launcher from a previous version of APDoom should still continue to work fine, however. Alternatively, for instructions on starting APDoom through the command line, see here.

New Features

• Official Linux support (not Steam Deck ready yet though)
• Support for customizable ammo capacity (see ArchipelagoMW/Archipelago#3565)
• Added an ammo capacity display to Heretic
• Map information is sent to the Archipelago server, for trackers to use in the future

Fixes

General

• The text display from Archipelago is now always left-aligned, even if the resolution changes in the middle of a game
• Text coloring in the Archipelago text display (for item and location names, primarily) no longer stops abruptly when a line is word-wrapped
• Fixed a hardlock in widescreen modes if an extremely long string of letters without spaces was sent through Archipelago chat
• Fixed hints showing incorrect item names if they involved a different game than the one you're currently playing
• Fixed inconsistent crashes due to memory management issues
• Fixed the player being put into a "zombie" state (alive with 0 health) in various circumstances

Doom 2

• Fixed issues with receiving keys mid-level
• Fixed being sent to MAP01 as a "zombie" if attempting to start a fresh save on an already completed slot

Heretic

• Fixed "fly up" keybind causing rapid inventory cycling when timed-out Wings of Wrath were in the inventory
• Fixed "random balanced" item rando never spawning Ethereal Arrows or Quartz Flasks (#22)
• Fixed the "force reset level" flag never being cleared when choosing "Kill" from the menu, resulting in all future deaths in that play session resetting the level

1.1.0

Added gamepad support from Crispy-Doom/Chocolate doom.
It's much better for gameplay, but in MENU is pretty bad. Including level select. I recommend still using keyboard for those for now.

1.0.4

DOOM 1993

• Fixed entry rule in E2M8

DOOM II

• Fixed crash on victory. It will now show an AP specific victory screen, unlike Heretic and DOOM where they show the original. Better than a crash :)
• Removed unreachable locations from the minimap (MAP07 multiplayer BFG). They also appeared in map, but did nothing upon picking up

Heretic

• Boss maps now properly trigger victory if goal is set to 1
• Fixed rule in E4M8 where Iron Lich were not generated if the random mode was set to chaotic
• Fixed rule in E4M3, item behind green top at the top was accessible from blue (wrong)
• Fixed rule in E3M2 where an item was not in yellow region and should have been
• Fixed rule in E5M3 where both green and blue were required to access many parts of the level
• Fixed rule in E2M5 where yellow key was required instead of green for a specific area of the map
• Fixed rule in E2M3 where some items were not marked as requiring green key

1.0.3

Enables compressed packets. Should resolve some of the connection issue people were having.

1.0.2

Fixed DOOM II level mismatch with what is really unlocked.

1.0.1

Warning

For DOOM II, use version 0.13.2

Fixes DOOM II level select weird behavior, showing wrong levels and wrong locks.

1.0.0

Warning

For DOOM II, use version 0.13.2
