Zandronum w/ Skulltag (Doom 2 Source Port) | PortMaster | Page 1

mental forum Oct 22, 2023, 8:58 PM

#

Zandronum is a multiplayer oriented port, based off Skulltag, for Doom and Doom II by id Software. Alongside the source port, it also contains the latest Skulltag assets that adds two campaign modes for playing deathmatch with bots, and invasion for killing hordes of monsters. It also adds new weapons, monsters, bot skins and announcers, resembling a lot later fps games such as Quake 3 Arena and Unreal Tournament.

Instructions:

Download the "Zandronum.zip" file below and unpact it to your "ports" folder
Copy doom2.wad to "ports/Zandronum" folder, and run "Zandronum.sh" from EmulationStation.

Notes: Thanks to Brad Carney (Carnevil) for creating this source port with lots of new content. Also thanks to Slayer366 for helping me porting it to portmaster.

Tested on:
✅ RG351P/ArkOS

It could be a doom mod for gzdoom yes, but for now it works only with Zandronum, which is another Doom sourceport based on gzdoom (https://zandronum.com/)

Yes, it should also work with Heretic, Hexen, Strife, etc. It could also play Brutal Doom, but it might be a little bit too heavy, depending on your device.

#

Also, it works only with SDL1, and doesn't support for OpenGL, so you'll have to stick with software mode to work.

@mental forum quick points

what launch script did you take as an example?
why is there a gptokeyb version in the game folder? gptokeyb is included in PM and is called in controls.txt via GPTOKEYB="$ESUDO $controlfolder/gptokeyb $ESUDOKILL" so we only use $GPTOKEYB "portexecutable" -c "./portname.gptk" & for example
for the tools folder
the whole each resolution one ini is not the correct way too go. This will break other resolutions maybe? A simple sed command in the launcscript would me much easier. Or even better using sdl to auto detect the resolution. What about 1920x1152 for 552? or x55 with 1280x720.

All you need is

if [ -d "/opt/system/Tools/PortMaster/" ]; then
  controlfolder="/opt/system/Tools/PortMaster"
elif [ -d "/opt/tools/PortMaster/" ]; then
  controlfolder="/opt/tools/PortMaster"
else
  controlfolder="/roms/ports/PortMaster"
fi``` '

roms2 detection is handled in control.txt

#

I guess its just a bit of script cleanup rest looks good

mental forum Oct 22, 2023, 9:11 PM

#

Although Zandronum is more widely used for online gaming, it's based in an older gzdoom version that still rely upon SDL1 to work. Gzdoom on its behalf is based in SDL2 and it's easier to port to multiple different devices, and also supports OpenGL out of the box.

@crimson ice We need gptokeyb basically for menu navigation. The Zandronum ARM version we used to compile it still doesn't have full controller support. We could have analog stick sensitivity, but we can't choose menu options or go back. The gptokeyb script was used just to map ESC to Select, and Enter to Start basically.

It's similar to other ports such as Blood, except we only mapped the buttons we needed.

"Impending Nightmare" is the Invasion mode, with 6 to 10 arena levels whose objective is survive 6 to 10 rounds with dozens of monsters to kill.

That reminds me the .sh file still doesn't have implemented the mechanism to output port data to a log file, and maybe we should have it.

Maybe Zandronum is running in opengl instead of software mode, possibly due to the .sh file not choosing the config template file correctly. It that's the case, we could either edit the .ini file directly in the /roms/ports/Zandronum/conf/zandronum/zandronum.ini, or we could copy one of the template config files into that folder and see what happens.

crimson ice Also on amber it immediatly asks for libGL.so.1

It mentions opengl, but in fact it isn't used. The main reason why it's here is because, since Zandronum is SDL1, I "borrowed" a few libraries from Hocoslamfy, which included the libGL for some reason.

I think Zandronum uses mostly SDL1 for graphics and OpenAL for sound. All the other unused libraries could be removed, for the sake of cleaning things up/reducing port file size.

These are automatically generated by Zandronum / GZDoom, and that's why they are here. If we were using AmberElec, the paths would be automatically changed to the AmberElec's naming.

With the newest zip from cebion the game now boots and plays for me on x55 Jelos.
The controlls are broken. Inverted up/down also left/right. And trying to navigate menu is hell. I could remapp ok but couldn't back out of menu.

Okay controls I didn't check

I also have controller all messed up with 353m

#

rain spire I also have controller all messed up with 353m

so

#

if you look at the gptk file

#

there is only start and escape mapped

#

so no controls

#

so it works via ingame

#

or config file

rain spire Oct 24, 2023, 7:40 AM

#

So that explains it then 😄

will controls be adjustable if we use gptk?

some mods requre additional buttons

crimson ice Oct 24, 2023, 7:43 AM

#

they are adjustable without it too

#

in the conf file

flat cypress Oct 24, 2023, 7:44 AM

#

ok nice, so we can change them in any case

rain spire Oct 24, 2023, 7:50 AM

#

Any way is better than current. Very difficult to navigate menu now and when i have used menu some time the buttons just stopped to work so i can't fininsh my mappings anyways 😄

mental forum Oct 24, 2023, 9:52 AM

#

If I'm not mistaken, by default Zandronum maps the DPAD to Up/Down/Left/Right arrow keys in the menus, without having to use gptk for that.

#

Only the buttons for choosing menu options and going back is the ones that aren't supported yet, and that's why the gptk file only has ESC and ENTER keys mapped.

#

In my RG351P, menu navigation works fine in my DPAD. But using the analog stick in the menus might be a little bit worse

mental forum Oct 24, 2023, 2:09 PM

#

@crimson ice just tried your Zandronum update in my RG351P with ArkOS. worked fine, just like it was before.

#

I have some suggestions, though: Did you map Select button to show the map?

crimson ice Oct 24, 2023, 2:10 PM

#

I didn't map anything

#

didn't touch controls

#

but we need to i think because of the whole "reverse" mapped thing

mental forum Oct 24, 2023, 2:11 PM

#

Anyway, in my RG351P, by default the Select button was mapped to show the map, but this button is already mapped to show the menu.

#

Ideally, we shouldn't map any ingame functions to the Select and Start buttons, since they're already reserved by gptk

#

But I think I can simply change button mappings ingame and remove Select -> Map from there.

#

Before further discussions about controls, another question: should we remove the possibly unused libraries from the "lib" folder?

oh yeah

#

move them all out

#

and then only add the needed ones

mental forum Oct 24, 2023, 2:17 PM

#

and to do that, I simply run ldd zandronum, get the list of libraries, compare with the ones in the "libs" folder, and then remove the unused ones?

in theory but than can sometimes lead to too many libs

i usually remove them and just run the game until it stops complaining

mental forum Oct 24, 2023, 2:46 PM

that said, onto the controller issues. you mentioned about having custom controls per-device, or something similar?

crimson ice Oct 24, 2023, 2:47 PM

#

mental forum that said, onto the controller issues. you mentioned about having custom control...

I said that because only some devices seem to have reversed analogue sticks

#

So we might need to unbind all and only use gptokeyb if everythign else fails

mental forum Oct 24, 2023, 2:47 PM

#

if we use gptokeyb, we will lose analog sensitivity

#

unless we map all buttons except for the analog stick

#

but what if we have a different config file, one per device? we could bind different button mappings for x55 or rg353 devices

crimson ice Oct 24, 2023, 2:54 PM

#

mental forum if we use gptokeyb, we will lose analog sensitivity

not true

#

or well

#

we implemented new settigns

mental forum Oct 24, 2023, 2:55 PM

#

the nblood port is an example. all controls were mapped with gptk because the port doesn't have joystick support yet

crimson ice Oct 24, 2023, 2:55 PM

#

# New deadzone code, this will overwrite the above deadzone code behaviour
# Choices of: axial, radial, scaled_radial, sloped_axial, sloped_scaled_axial, hybrid
deadzone_mode = scaled_radial
deadzone = 2000
deadzone_scale = 8
deadzone_delay = 16 ## An alias for mouse delay```

#

there is new code for scaling

#

so it might be set up much more granular now

mental forum Oct 24, 2023, 2:56 PM

oh, interesting.

With this you're going with the hard coding 😛

#

I mean we can play around with it

mental forum Oct 24, 2023, 2:58 PM

#

but Zandronum already has full controller support with analog stick and all. I believe this would perform better than gptk

crimson ice Oct 24, 2023, 2:58 PM

#

Yes, if the joysticks are all found equally on all devices

#

which at this moment is not the case

#

or they're found but wrongly mapped

#

"standard"

#

😛

#

We can see how zandronum detects the joystick maybe it can be helped with

#

or we could use gptokeyb and say please use xbox360 controller

#

and it will simulate a xboxcontroller

#

Options are plenty ^^

mental forum Oct 24, 2023, 3:03 PM

#

oh, so gptokeyb doesn't implement solely joy2key? it supports "joy2joy" as well?

#

I remember something similar for Retropie in my Raspberry Pi 2: xboxdrv

#

Maybe simulating xbox controllers might work well for multiple devices, because both gzdoom and zandronum have a good support for xbox360 controllers.

crimson ice Oct 24, 2023, 3:06 PM

mental forum oh, so gptokeyb doesn't implement solely joy2key? it supports "joy2joy" as well?

mental forum Oct 24, 2023, 3:23 PM

agreed. let's try that approach, and then reconfigure controls accordingly.

#1165756188902838303 message

@hardy pawn I think this one needs gptokeyb controls and resolution patches via device_info.

Do you want to have a look at it?
Then it should be good to go

Not sure if that libgl.so.1 was a proper one or one with stubs (gl4es)

Sometimes the gl4es one wants way less libs

high crane Feb 2, 2024, 9:35 PM

#

crimson ice Not sure if that libgl.so.1 was a proper one or one with stubs (gl4es)

it's running now

mental forum Feb 3, 2024, 12:20 AM

#

Hey, libGL shouldn't be needed, since currently Zandronum works only in software mode.

#

Or at least it didn't work for me, when I tried it a couple of months ago.

high crane Feb 3, 2024, 1:55 AM

#

i ran the game, and each time it failed to start, it identified a missing lib. i added each lib one-by-one until it ran. that's the list

mental forum Feb 3, 2024, 2:26 AM

#

Ok. Are you running Zandronum currently in OpenGL, or Software mode?

high crane Feb 3, 2024, 2:39 AM

#

mental forum Ok. Are you running Zandronum currently in OpenGL, or Software mode?

not sure, i just ran the .sh file

mental forum Feb 3, 2024, 2:48 PM

#

Okay, nevermind then. IIRC, the .sh file is already forcing the game to run in software (if not the .sh, then some predefined config file in the port). You might be already running it in software mode by default.

#

As for why the opengl lib files are missing, you're using AmberElec, right? Slayer and I are using ArkOS, and it worked fine for us. Maybe ArkOS already has these libraries included by default, while AmberElec hasn't.

thanks, yeah maybe. so, perhaps we include the libs so all devices run okay? not sure what the best approach is?

#

high crane thanks, yeah maybe. so, perhaps we include the libs so all devices run okay? not...

Yeah that happens all the time 🙂

#

That's why i asked if it was a gl4es libgl which might not need as many other libs 🙂

mental forum Feb 3, 2024, 10:18 PM

#

agreed with adding the other libraries

#

I also have the idea of grabbing the latest Zandronum code from their repo, instead of using a fork for openpandora devices that works for us but isn't updated. That should hopefully resolve the bugs I've been getting in my device, such as some missing sound effects, issues starting offline skirmish matches, etc.

#

That said, time is a little short for me these days, due to a lot of stuff at work. It's gonna take a while until I'm more free to work on that stuff.

I'll hold off just for this ^. I tried and almost had it, but failed. If you can get the latest build compiled and running, I'd be stoked!

hardy pawn Feb 6, 2024, 2:56 AM

Actually, I just looked at the latest zip and it seems everything including GPTOKEYB is set and running well. The only thing I did when I tested it was updated sdl12-compat from 59 to 68, but prolly not a big deal. Latest zip here looks clean DonkeyThumbsUp .

#

I'll leave it up to Solid One if we want to wait to use the newer source for Zandronum still.
