/ -- What's new -- \
DeeP97 (Win95/NT 4.0)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We didn't really mean to release this so soon, but a slight
flaw was introduced in linedrawing with the new HEXEN
polyobject detection. This affects both DeePBSP (Hexen only)
and DeeP97.
Meanwhile, here are some more goodies:
1. Direct PWAD graphic import. Graphics drawing can now
directly import and paste a graphic from any PWAD. Makes
life a bit simpler!
2. Save Game Statistics information (F10, #1) now shows
the approximate Save Game File size. If you get close
to this limit, your level may not save properly
(from a discussion on Compuserve).
After many requests some COOL SOUND stuff:
3. Play any Sound PWAD lumps in file browser. Plays sounds
directly from PWADS or from IWADs. Now explore PWAD
sound files without having to open the file. Select
Open Pwad in the File menu and look around.
4. Play any external WAV files in file browser. For finding
creative sounds to replace the stock sounds. Select View
Wave in the Edit menu.
5. Import.WAV to sound lumps. Makes it easy to incorporate
original sounds into your work. Converts sampling rate
as required. Select Convert Wav to PWAD in Edit menu and
you're all set.
6. Export sound Lumps to WAV files. Customize the original
sounds with some extra reverb! Select Export Lump in File
menu.
7. Play any MIDI files in file browser. To be followed
later with more stuff. Select View Midi in Edit menu.
8. Play WAV entries while browsing QUAKE PAK files. Export
the QUAKE sounds and enhance your DOOM levels!
9. Play any CD track while editing. Just for fun. Select View
CD in Edit menu.
10. In Drawing mode, Cursor Keys also move map (if option
is set).
11. Extended QUAKE menu options for exploring
QUAKE files.
12. Caching Textures is now optional. If you have less than
32mb or memory you may benefit from this feature.
13. Support for CHEX cereal game, so your kids can have
fun too!
DeeP (DOS)
~~~~~~~~~~
1. This release is a bit earlier than intended, but the
HEXEN enhancements accidently introduced a line drawing
glitch. In addition, the shareware file was corrupted
during a file transfer!
So we fixed the linedrawing (as it used to be) and added
some more features from DeeP97 (anyone who registered 8.80
gets a free upgrade, if we haven't sent it yet,
just email us.)
2. New Save Game statistics instantly shows you if a level is
close to the save size limit (press F10).
3. Browsing PWADS identifies SOUND and MUS data (DeeP97 also
plays data).
4. New option to export a SOUND lump as a .WAV file.
5. New option to import a .WAV file and convert to a
PWAD with automatic frequency adjustment.
6. Support for CHEX cereal game, so your kids can have fun
too!
