Will GZDoom Ever Come To Retropie????

[Brigane]

@jcook84 Well.. The wiki suggest many different things depending on which iwads are used. Would you mind pasting the script here.
I got the other iwads working except valiant.wad
Thanks

[edmaul69]

@brigane are you using gzdoom or zdoom?

[Brigane]

@edmaul69
zdoom

[edmaul69]

@brigane i will post the cofig when i get home

[edmaul69]

@brigane if you put doom2.wad and Valiant.wad (notice valiant has a capitol V as caps and lowercase have to match) in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/ , then this would be the emulators.cfg for valiant

default = "zdoom"
zdoom = "/opt/retropie/ports/zdoom/zdoom -iwad /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/doom2.wad -file /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/Valiant.wad"

@edmaul69 i wish i could figure out why my doom runs worse than yall lol

[Brigane]

@edmaul69
Thanks, It runs quite well on my end, at least the first couple of minutes I've been trying it. I'm using an overclocked Raspberry Pi 2.

Edit: Now I also got trailblazer running. It's running pretty smooth imo

[Brigane]

Thought I'd would let you know I manage to setup Brutal Wolfenstein 3D as well by using the same method.

@brigane omg omg how the hell did u get trailblazer running i cant get it to run it crash in load... Plz help?

Also whats Ur fps on Valiant? Do vid_showfps true

[Brigane]

@retrofreak89
I'm not quite sure how I show fps in-game. But please fill me in, if you do.

This is how I got trailblazer working.

this is my config in /opt/retropie/configs/ports/trailblazer/emulators.cfg

zdoom = "/opt/retropie/ports/zdoom/zdoom +set fullscreen 1 -iwad /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/doom2.wad -file /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/trailblazer/trailblazer.pk3"`
default="zdoom"

This is where I placed my wad file /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/trailblazer/trailblazer.pk3

My trailblazer.sh script to launch the game looks like this

#!/bin/bash
"/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh" 0 _PORT_ "trailblazer" ""

[edmaul69]

@brigane he has valiant working. He was asking about trailblazer. I havent tried installing it yet so i cant help him there.

[Brigane]

@edmaul69
Oh my bad. I'll change my post when I get home from work.

[RetroFreak89]

@brigane yeah trailblazer i cannot get it to work...
And i heard good things about it..
Also to show fps press the ~ on keyboard to open console and typ vid_showfps true ..
this will then show you the fps top right side of your screen
Oh if vid_showfps true doesnt work try vid_fps true.
Because i forgot which one it was

[Brigane]

@RetroFreak89
I've updated my post above with the correct info regarding trailblazer. About the fps I can tell you that I run around 28-35 fps through the game with less explosive guns like the handgun, shotgun and machine gun.
After picking up the rocket launcher I got some frame drops sadly. Overall I still think this is more than playable.
Keep in mind though that I'm running RPi 2 so RPi 3 might run this better.

[RetroFreak89]

@brigane ok ill see if i can get trailblazer to run...
Im wondering since u got trailblazer to run do you think you can get Russian Overkill to run as wel?
Also what resolution you play at?

[Brigane]

@retrofreak89
I'm using default video mode since I'm mostly just testing the iwads at the moment.
Also I got Russian Overkill working, it seems to run flawlessly when playing through the first map.

[RetroFreak89]

@brigane omg really?? How? The same way as blazer? I'm gomtry right now I got some time..
Also where did u download it the one I found says gzdoom dev requires

[RetroFreak89]

I Just tried again with the above steps still crashes apon load :/

[RetroFreak89]

@edmaul69

Yo ed will you try something for me?
This guy or woman below posted about that he or she got trailblazer and russian overkill mods running..those are the 2 that i cant get to run it also says recommanded for gzdoom but no matter what i do i followed up the steps like 5x it just keeps crashing..
So im wondering if you can get it to work?
Im curious i also want to play these since Its like one of the best mods

[edmaul69]

@retrofreak89 i will try in a little bit when i get a chance.
