ZDoom questions
-
@Ollie_retro I have updated both retropie-setup and installed & updated zdoom from binary and from source. Tried both updates separatedly and I stll get the shoots bug. It's driving me crazy, I bet there's a better fix for this yeah?
@edmaul69 did you have this problem as well? it's like it has no solution at all
@XD3l @dudleydes @backstander guys any ideas on this? please I'm dying :(
-
Just gave a try today as well and Just don't know what it might be, or if there's another way to update Zdoom in order to get rid of that
-
It needs to be reported upstream - https://forum.zdoom.org/ - We compile it out of the box - if it doesn't happen on x86 it might be related to some difference in the RPI sdl2 backend, but it's not something I have time to look into currently.

@mahcneto @BuZz @Ollie_retro i had this issue from 4.01 or 4.1. I put the zdoom from retropie 3.8.1 on and it worked. When i did the 4.1.12 update it still stayed working. This is something that has been said to be the case for people on the x86 version when it did the same thing. So if you get the old version from 3.8.1 it will work. Then the newest update will stay fixed. I have about 40 games for zdoom and i play it all the time (99% of my gaming is probably on zdoom) and its still going good.
-
@edmaul69 Oh I see, so I need to remove the current ZDoom build I have now, and then get the 3.8.1 versión, install that and then update like normally, right? How do I get that version? Any code I can copy into putty?
-
@mahcneto if you get the 3.8.1 image and put it on a card if you install zdoom on it without updating retropie setup i believe you would get the correct version. Take it off of that card and put it on your pc. Then use your old card again, and just dump this new zdoom on top of your old one. No need to uninstall. It will be in /opt/retropie/ports/zdoom/
-
@mahcneto @Ollie_retro @buzz so i was wrong about updating working. I tried playing doom II and it was still there. I went back to my 3.8.1 version since it works. Best way to test is doom II on the easiest setting. Thats where you will find the most problems.
-
ok will try this method right now and will not update
-
@edmaul69 ok i just replaced the /opt/retropie/ports/zdoom folder and whenever I start any doom .wad I'm getting no sound at all, and when I select an episode in Doom1 / start a game in Doom2 it crashes and gets back to ES
-
@mahcneto go into options and turn the sound on
-
nm this post i have to think of why you are crashing
-
did you overwrite your zdoom or delete then add the new? if you deleted you have to give the zdoom folder and files a 0775 permission
-
@mahcneto also try going into /opt/retropie/configs/ports/doom/ and rename your zdoom.ini. it will create a new one. maybe there is a config setting the old zdoom does not like.
-
@edmaul69 tried permissions, turning the sound on, restarting sound, renamed zdoom.ini to something else, nothing worked, and a new zdoom.ini wasn't created at all and still crashing after selecting an episode
-
@mahcneto did you give permissions to your .wad files? That could be an issue. I wont have a pi to test anything for about a week. Now the sound issue, did you turn on sound, turn up volume, turn up music and set music to timidy or opl synth which will give you music?
-
@edmaul69 just gave permissions to my wads folder, and still nothing. how do you actually turn on the sound? i just set it to OPL and then Restart Sound and nothing happens. Is it using the zdoom.ini at all? since i renamed it, it didn't create anything new on the same folder and it's saving my settings anyways somewhere. sucks that if I update this version of ZDoom i might get sound and everything working, but that silly shoots bugs ruins everything.
-
@mahcneto where is your zdoom.ini located? and are you running just plain old doom 1 & doom 2 for testing?
-
@edmaul69 it took a while to create the zdoom.ini after i renamed it to zdoomm.ini, so it's there now, still crashing though, and it's in /opt/retropie/ports/zdoom/.
I've tried doom 1 and 2, plutonia and TNT only.
-
I think there is some issues with the current version of ZDoom and their official website states that development of ZDoom has been halted, and there are no plans on future releases. "Consider QZDoom or GZDoom as replacements"
https://zdoom.org/NewsI think QZDoom and GZDoom use OpenGL so they might not be able to be ported to the Raspberry Pi :-(
-
I will switch retropie back to an older version which works.
What's the quickest way to reproduce the issue - so I can find the last version which works well ?
