#GZDOOM STRIFE MOD#

Nash Muhandes' WidePix mod was integrated in the Decemupdate, bringing in support for widescreen static pictures in the menus, cinematic sequences, and ending screens. The 2020 Nintendo Switch version was developed chiefly by Edward Richardson (Edward850) and Dimitris Giannakis (ModernVintageGamer), with initial portability work by Quasar and Max Waine (Altazimuth).

#GZDOOM STRIFE UPDATE#

On August 28, 2020, a update was released that brought the original DOS executable and a December 1995 beta release of Strife available as additional launch options. Quasar's primary focus was on removal of limits, stability of the game engine and fixing bugs in the original game (many conditionally, under the game's 'classic mode' feature), and addition of new features such as Capture the Chalice.

#GZDOOM STRIFE CODE#

Kaiser's primary focus was on the graphics engine, which is largely based on KEX 2, an evolution of the Doom64 EX code base. A linking exception for the Steamworks API was provided by Simon Howard with the justification that it constitutes a system component due to ubiquitous distribution and the existence of SteamOS. This necessitated that the project be open source, with the code released under the GNU General Public License. Due to the timely completion of Chocolate Strife in 2013, Chocolate Doom was chosen as an ideal basis. Though it was an initial goal to have high resolution sprites and textures, this proved impossible to accomplish on the restricted budget and timeline of the project.ĭue to then-ongoing recovery efforts with regard to the lost Strife source code, basing the product on an existing code base was a necessity. Sven Ruthner (ptoing) was brought on as an artist to create new assets needed for the user interface, to fill in for deficiencies in widescreen support, and to touch up existing art where needed. This was later pushed up to December due to delays and increasing scope of development. He then commissioned a custom version of the game based on a specification devised by the two programmers and set an optimistic release date of October 2014. After resolving the various issues left by the dissolving of the involved companies, Stephen set out to produce a new professional-quality release of the game, updated for needs of the modern market.Īfter initially approaching Simon Howard (Fraggle) to see if he would be interested in developing a custom version of the game, he was referred to James Haley (Quasar) and Samuel Villarreal (Kaiser), developers of the Chocolate Strife source port. Stephen Kick was approached mid-summer 2014 by former employees of Rogue Entertainment who retained partial legal rights to Strife, after the latter were approached by several community members with questions about the game's legal status. Instead a new data file, SVE.wad, contains modified and supplemental content. The Veteran Edition also includes new content to highlight these additional features, however the original data files ( STRIFE1.WAD and VOICES.WAD) have been left unchanged from the original 1.31 release. Some features that were planned but were not completed in time for the original release in 1996 have been fully implemented, including a multiplayer ' Capture the Chalice' game mode derived from Capture the Flag, dynamic objective markers on the automap, a special HUD display for the mauler's torpedo mode, and so on. It features an enhanced engine derived from Chocolate Strife but with many additional optional features, including an OpenGL renderer with support for high-resolution, widescreen display, bloom, static lightmaps created through DLight, dynamic light sources, and more.
