As part of my work on a VR port, I have been spending some time looking at the Doom3 BFG edition code for opportunities to improve performance. A core concept in BFG is a vastly different vertex cache

Nothing significant. I cleaned up a few things in code, but apart from that the latest executable is still state-of-the-art   Far as I can tell, it runs pretty stable now, so from my side it could be

I have built RelWithDebInfo x64 library for versions 1.18.2, 1.19.0, and 1.19.1. There are here. You can replace the lib "rel" version with any of them, build TDM, and it will produce PDB with symbols for OpenAL. On the other hand, if you want to see the place in debugger, then you will have to download source code and point MSVC to it.

Maybe we should build most of the libraries with debug info to make debugging easier.

P.S. Conan has one major issue: it has steep learning curve. I wish more people try to use it, but understand that it is not trivial.

Now I see "Debug with inlines" as an option.

Isn't it possible to add ALL the 3 OpenAL Soft versions to the project and select one in the build process? So we got 3 possible binaries for x64 and 3 for x86.

Task is not so much to see what no one has yet seen but to think what nobody has yet thought about that which everybody see. - E.S.

Ehm... not directly.

Is it too bad when you copy the wanted version over SVN package, then build, then rename executable? Repeat it three times, and you have three executables, each with its own version of OpenAL.

Can we have a test build with the debug version of OpenAL so that @lowenz can show us where it crashes inside the lib?

Just tell me how to generate the OpenAL32.lib (the needed flags) in MSVC, and I'll move the files in "thirdparty" folder ;)

I build OpenAL.dll by myself but let me know how the .lib must be generated.

 

For now I'll use the .lib posted before ;)

I will need to check that @grayman's bug first

Now that OpenAL issues are gone, here's the situation with the AMD Radeon (got OpenGL cache cleared, of course)

Maybe now that the SVN version is complete (GLProgs) it's time to create a related dedicated thread for betatesters?

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
