From 5947b4229f03e33209a724db7dc424fc67359f7d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Swanson Date: Tue, 17 Sep 2019 17:14:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] dist/freedoom: rearrange and change ports to search for GZDoom gets bumped up to second for its support for high screen resolutions. PrBoom-Plus gets bumped to last-place for its menu complexity. Eternity got removed due to its difficulty of building and running on Linux. --- dist/freedoom | 13 +++++++------ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/dist/freedoom b/dist/freedoom index 074b5a13..0b045ced 100755 --- a/dist/freedoom +++ b/dist/freedoom @@ -1,10 +1,11 @@ #!/bin/bash - -# These ports should really be ordered by ease-of-use.
