Miscellaneous

New Features and Improvements

• Implement support for arbitrary resolutions. Inspired by the solution in Eternity Engine.
  • Resolution scale slider. From 100% (original 320x200) up to native display resolution.
  • Dynamic resolution scaling. Automatically changes the internal resolution to maintain a target framerate (display refresh rate by default).
  • "Blocky Spectre Drawing" adapted to any resolution. Fixed some visual artifacts.
  • Vanilla wipe at any resolution (from Diet Boom).
• Add adjustable field of view (FOV). This uses a 4:3 horizontal FOV that is scaled internally. The default value of 90 is correct for all aspect ratios.

• Mouse controls overhaul.
  • Fast mouse polling. Mouse input is sampled per frame instead of per tic. This lowers perceived input lag at high framerates, especially when using a high refresh rate monitor. Toggle with the raw_input config setting. Inspired by a similar concept in Odamex.
  • Turn and look sensitivity are now consistent with each other (1:1).
  • Smoother free look using a solution adapted from PrBoom+.

  • Independent adjustment of forward, strafe, turn, and look sensitivity.
  • Optional extra sensitivity at outer threshold of analog stick, with a configurable ramp time.
  • Optional diagonal movement correction. Remaps circular analog input to a square to account for Doom's unique diagonal movement.
  • "Run" switches between two speeds for turning and looking, similar to existing forward and strafe behavior.
  • Axes configuration is simplified to 4 presets (default, swap, legacy, legacy swap).
• Add auto "strafe50" option.
• Menu overhaul. Retains the classic Doom menu, supports original graphics and 320x200 in the revamped Boom/MBF options menu.
