- Description:
-
PrBOOM is an Enhanced DOOM port that fixes many of the bugs from ID's sources, but also goes beyond to add new features that were not original possible in classic DOOM. Unlike other enhanced source ports, PrBOOM attempts to maintain 100% with classic DOOM, while at the same time offering resource friendly features that can expand how the game is played and experienced in many ways. An example of some of these enhancements are as such:
- Player bobbing improved, optional (BOOM, MBF)
- Friction effects (BOOM), affecting players and monsters (MBF)
- Wind, current, conveyor effects (BOOM)
- Far more flexible scrolling wall/floor types (BOOM)
- Always run (BOOM)
- Weapon change logic overhauled and improved (BOOM)
- Support for friendly monsters, helper dogs (MBF)
- Monster target finding code improved (MBF)
- AI improvements (MBF)
- Bouncy and touchy things (MBF)
- New code pointers (MBF)
- Per-level and animated skies (MBF)
- Generalised line types system gives complete flexibility (BOOM)
- Elevators (BOOM)
- Translucent sprites, walls (BOOM)
- Independent floor and ceiling lighting (BOOM)
- Silent teleports (BOOM)
- Deep water, true underwater areas (BOOM)
- Icon of Sin telefragging made more consistent (MBF)
- Fix large numbers of game bugs (BOOM, MBF, LxDoom)
- Support arbitrary texture heights (BOOM)
(NOTE: Author no longer uses BeOS and therefore has no desire to support or continue work on this project, this is merely here as a tribute to all he has offered to the community, and for you to enjoy! )
(If you have a sincere interest in updating the code, or using it as a point of reference for your own port of PrBOOM, then please contact me as I'd VERY much like to see an up to date, bug free port for Haiku!)
PrBoom is the most compatible version of Doom available for BeOS- capable of playing many second-party wad files.
It supports keyboard, mouse and joystick for input, and has many options - including high quality sound and music output, video options and very configurable keybindings. It also features network play.
It also includes a Doom server- a first for BeOS =8P
Note: You will need the TiMidity Instrument patches for music output. You can get them many places- such as here:

Details about this version:
2.2.3;

Post-release note:
The following applies exclusively to the quake-mouse enabled binary, and does not affect keyboard or joystick input.
Problem: The mouse-enabled binary may exhibit odd or unexpected behaviour while moving at an obtuse angle when in mid-air.
Resolution: [Quick]Saving and then [Quick]loading the game in progress resets the player physics, rectifying the issue.

put into home/.prboom files:

prboom.wad
prboom.cfg
and edit *.cfg file to match doom1.wad
and doom will start without error..
Has anybody succesfully installed these TiMidity Instrument patches (or is it at all possible at this moment)?
Quoting Meanwhile:
Just unpack them wherever you want, modify timidity.cfg to write in it where the files are located, then put timidity.cfg into prboom's directory, and... ta-da! MIDI music!
Anyway, the latest versions of PrBoom+ (2.5.0.8a and 2.5.0.9.test) compile without a hitch in Haiku and keyboard controls are much smoother than this version's ones, where strafing stops working suddently just when you're surrounded by enemies.
Unpatched as is, though, a freshly compiled PrBoom+ has flaky MIDI music, game crashes when closed and game-server and mouse don't work. Patching would be needed.
fix these items and get a Haiku compatability logo.

Thank you very much.
