# clowndoom

Yet another purist DOOM port.

This project aims to repair the Linux Doom source code, restoring features that

were lost from the DOS version, and implementing opt-in quality-of-life

improvements such as widescreen rendering.

## Features

### Repaired Downgrades

- Features that were broken by the original Linux port:

  - Music support (through WildMIDI).

  - Complete sound effect support (restored missing features such as stopping

    mid-playback and updating positional effects).

  - Low-detail mode.

- Features that were broken by the 1997 source release:

  - Animated Doom 1 intermission screens.

  - Ultimate Doom wall switch textures.

  - Volume levels and volume control.

### Portability Improvements

- Addressed various compiler warnings.

- Support for 64-bit CPUs.

- Support for Windows and modern Linux:

  - The X11 code has been converted from 8bpp to 24bpp, which is supported by

    modern X11 servers.

  - The audio code has been migrated from OSS to the miniaudio middleware

    library (supports OSS, ALSA, PulseAudio, JACK, and more).

  - As an alternative to X11 and miniaudio, SDL1 and SDL2 backends are

    available.

  - The codebase can be compiled with MSVC.

  - Windows networking code has been added.

- Eliminated reliance on C99 and C extensions, making the codebase pure ANSI C.

### Quality-of-Life Improvements

- New configuration options:

  - `novert` - Disables being able to make the player character walk by moving

    the mouse up and down.

  - `always_run` - Makes the player character run instead of walk, and vice

    versa.

  - `aspect_ratio_correction` - Restores the original 4:3 aspect ratio by

    making pixels rectangular.

  - `full_colour` - Render with more than 256 colours.

  - `prototype_light_amplification_visor_effect` - Restore the 'night vision'

    effect for the light amplification visor from the Press Release Pre-Beta.

  - `screen_width` - The screen's horizontal resolution. The maximum is 5040.

  - `screen_height` - The screen's vertical resolution. The maximum is 1800.

  - `hud_scale` - Multiplies the size of the user interface. 1 renders elements

    at their native resolutions, 2 renders them at double their resolution,

    etc. The maximum value is 9.

- The 'iddt' cheat enables kill/item/secret totals in the automap, as well as

  notifications when finding secrets.

- Assorted bug fixes.

- Better than CuckyDOOM.

## Configuration

Additional settings are found in the configuration file - 'clowndoomrc'. On

Unix platforms, it can be found in the user's standard configuration directory

(`XDG_CONFIG_HOME`, or `~/.config/` if it is undefined) named 'clowndoomrc'. On

other platforms, it can be found in the same directory as the executable (or

whichever directory the executable was invoked from) with the name

'default.cfg'.

WildMIDI requires a collection of GUS patches in order to work. The patches

should come with a Timidity-compatible '.cfg'. file. Set the

`wildmidi_config_path` option in 'clowndoomrc' to the path of this file, and

music should now work.
