These symlinks are used to indicate to use an alternate file for certain
graphics. But we can achieve the same by specifying the file in the
deutex config file with the = syntax.
Previously left alone, and with the old font, due to their special
nature, but since then, the small-text generator exists too! Only
thing special is that wikilrs is rotated, which is resolved simply by
using ImageMagick.
Closes#184
Do not FTBFS if the user does not have ghostscript / gsfonts installed.
Instead try some other fonts commonly installed by Linux distributions.
The patch is written to be easily extendable with extra font names, but
to be independent of the order of "convert -list font" output. Each
listed font is searched for in turn, and the first one found is used.
This was originally created by Da Werecat, but changed around to fit
the Freedoom theme better, and be internally consistent with the font
by Mechadon.
resolves#45
Rework CaptainW's FreeDM logo so that the "Free" and "DM" portions
are arranged vertically rather than horizontally. Update the dist/
directory to generate the installed FreeDM icon by scaling down
this image.
A couple of scripts were not Python 3 compatible. Update smtextgen to
use print() instead of bare print, and update the texture build script
to use the correct binary mode for writing binary files.
The 'identify' binary supplied in graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat outputs
lines of the form
fontchars/font033.gif GIF 9x16+0+0 PseudoClass 32c 8-bit 194 0.000u 0:01
However the IDENTIFY_OUTPUT_RE regex was written against an output which lacked
the +0+0 suffix to the dimensions. This patch adjusts accordingly.
Github now provides encrypted https: access to its github.io pages.
Use the https: equivalent URL instead of the unencrypted http:
version. Update the CREDIT screen text to do the same.
CaptainW kindly contributed a new logo for FreeDM in this thread:
http://www.doomworld.com/vb/freedoom/66962-freedm-needs-a-logo/
This uses the new logo for the title screen, menu header (M_DOOM) and
the large banner texture used in the FreeDM levels.
This fixes#12.
The end screens include the corpses of the old version of the
assault tripod boss from before raymoohawk's change, and VICTORY2
also showed the old E2M8 level that has since been replaced. So
replace these images with up-to-date versions instead.
HELP2 is the screen shown when playing shareware Doom, after
completing the first episode (gives you information on how to buy
the registered version, etc.). For some reason, ZDoom seems to
expect this lump after completing episode 1, even though
freedoom1.wad isn't a shareware IWAD in any sense. Include HELP2
as a copy of the CREDIT screen; even though it's redundant it
doesn't do any harm.
This is one of the screens of text shown between demos in the demo
loop. Generate this from the contents of a static text file. I
originally wanted to generate this programatically from the CREDITS
file but there are too many contributors to fit them all on the page.
Instead of generating text and image parts in separate stages, add
the ability to include an image in the smtextgen command line. This
makes the command line in the Makefile clearer.
The original Doom HELP screen showed the default key bindings for the
game's controls. This is not so useful nowadays: at worst it's
outright misleading because the player might not be using the
defaults, but it's also redundant because most modern source ports
allow the key bindings to be changed via the menus, which doubles as a
convenient list of the current key bindings.
Z0k suggested an alternative HELP screen that shows the items and
powerups available in the game. More discussion can be seen in this
thread: http://www.doomworld.com/vb/freedoom/69458-help/
This extends the new font to include lower case as well as upper
case characters. Add a couple of kerning rules for the lower case
characters so that they render nicely, too.
Decompose the help screen into three parts: the background, the
text and the title. Generate all except the main text programatically:
the background as a color transformed version of the INTERPIC graphic
and the title using the textgen tool.
