Hammer of Thyrion (uHexen2) release notes:
========================================================================
========================================================================
Changes in v1.5.10: (Feb. 28, 2025.)
========================================================================
This is a minor bug fix and maintenance release:
- Added BSP2 format support, thanks to an initial patch by Spike.
- Fixed possible crash in effects code (thanks to Jonathan Bergeron).
- Fixed getting stuck with loading plaque upon attempting to load a
bad save from the menu.
- Support for -userdir command line argument to override the hardcoded
user directory in unix builds
- OpenGL: Fixed dark dynamic lights, e.g. when Necromancer uses
invulnerability. (thanks to Shanjaq Astraljam, sf.net bug 48.)
- OpenGL: Fixed graphical artifacts with scaled UI (sf.net bug 59.)
- OpenGL: gl_clear now defaults to 1 and glClearColor is black. The
new cvar r_clearcolor (palette index from 0 to 255, default is 0)
can be used to change the clear color. (from fitzquake.)
- Render: Compensate viewmodel distortion at fov > 90.
- Software renderer: fixed a left/right alias edge clipping bug.
- Multiple performance tweaks mostly targeting the software renderer
especially when running on old hardware (thanks to Szilard Biro.)
- Fixed hexen2 inventory item drop to take effect immediately: New
command 'invdrop' which was actually present in hexenworld. Users
must bind their key again in the menu system in order for that to
work. (sf.net bug 58.)
- Windows, midi: Fixed volume reseting after loop (sf.net bug 66.)
- Improvements to mp3 tag detection / skipping.
- New console command music_jump: Jump to given order in music,
like Unreal's music change. Only for module (tracker) music.
- Map utils: BSP2 format support: qbsp must be run with the "-bsp2"
command line switch in order to output in bsp2 format.
- Utils: light, vis, and jsh2color now default to auto-detecting the
max number of threads.
- Support for the oem (Matrox m3D bundle) old 1.08 version: h2patch
can now detect and patch it.
- Windows: removed the long-obsoleted Scitech MGL video driver.
- DOS: removed the long-obsoleted MPATH and BW-TCP network drivers.
- Amiga (m68k): multiple updates/optimizations thanks to Szilard Biro.
- Amiga (m68k): support for PSX controller, cdplayer.library and Paula
audio support, thanks to Szilard Biro.
- Amiga (m68k): added support for Bebbo's gcc6/libnix based toolchain,
dropped support for VBCC compiler.
- AROS: initial x86_64 support.
- All platforms: Several HexenC (hcode) tweaks and clean-ups.
- Multiple minor fixes, tidy-ups, and protability tweaks, and updates
to third-party libraries.
- Source repository moved to git.
