Released: DoomX v2.0 Beta

DoomX v2.0 Beta

>> Carcharius and LikkleBaer released a new version of DoomX - originally ported by Lantus:

As you can see, this is a huge release. It implements pretty much every feature we wanted to include in Doom-X and a few more besides. Any future releases will be primarily focused on bug-fixes, tweaks, and tidy-ups. So, without further time-wasting, check out the list of changes below and enjoy this new version. ^_^

What's new/fixed:

* Mod support (pWADs only) with selectable Start Map
* System link support for up to 4 players added (*extremely experimental* see below for details)
* Graphics rendering code rewritten (performance gain)
* Turning controls now fully analogue
* 3 alternate controller configurations added (Legacy, Southpaw, and Legacy Southpaw)
* Now detects controller in the lowest numbered port
* Setup menu added to launcher for resolution mode and other settings
* Start map can be changed for mods
* Updated launcher with graphics, sound effects and new options
* Xbox save games with title and save images added (saves from older versions should transfer automatically)
* Freezing issues should be fixed
* Fixed weapon cycling order bug
* Fixed map panning controls
* Fixed consecutive WAD loading bug
* '.'s in startup text now display correctly
* In-game menu bug fixed (Quit Game showing twice)
* Other small bugfixes

NOTE: Remember that the System Link feature is still very much a work-in-progress so it may not work 100% correctly 100% of the time. Thus far it has only been tested on a LAN with 2 Xboxes though up to 4 should work fine. Detailed and constructive feedback on this feature would be appreciated.
