When I boot up the game (unzipped the dhwem to it's own folder & copied just the pak00* files over) I get "WARNING: unknown event 770" in the console.  I thought it might be because it has EAX enabled by default & I don't have a card that supports it.  I disabled EAX/surround sound & exited/reloaded game, still happens.

So far, besides that, loads up a new game ok.  Win 10-64 bit, AMD Phenom 8350, AMD 7850 GPU.

I had some cheats on when the event happened but nothing out of the ordinary. I haven't been able to reproduce it as well.

Hmm I guess I'll just ignore that bug for now.. I'll keep the issue on our bugtracker open (https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/issues/122) but until someone finds out how to reproduce it there's nothing I can do about it :-/

Again, thanks to everyone for testing!

the "WARNING: unknown event 770" message can be safely ignored. it's just an event SDL2 sends when a window gains focus (is created/comes back vom background) that dhewm3 doesn't handle.
I'll supress it in the release version.

Hi, Thanks for your work on this project. I was giving up hope on play Doom 3 decently on mac. I´ve just learned of it and compiled it right away.
My specs are:
Mac Book pro 13'' late 2011 8GB ram OSX: 10.11.2 (El capitan)

In the readme says that I need to point to the soft Libs of OpenAL before compiling on OSX but in my case it was not necessary. I´ve installed all the dependencies using mac ports, including the soft version of OpenAl and then just compiled it with no issues.

So far the game is running flawlessly on my mac (although I´m just starting the game). I´ll gladly test the mac version and report back on the git hub page.

I have a question: Is controller support planned in the future?

Thank you very much

caedes

Thanks for testing, marcosot, I'm glad it works great on Mac, too :-)

I currently have no plans for controller support, but I'd accept pull requests/patches, of course.

I just released 1.4.1 Release Candidate 1: https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/releases/tag/1.4.1_RC1

It's only small fixes/improvements, but please test anyway!

  • Fixed some rare crashes due to assertion errors (hopefully) including the one reported by Phrozo
  • AZERTY Keyboards, as used in France and Belgium, should now work (the row of keys with 1...9, 0 is now usable)
  • A crash (at least on FreeBSD) when loading Resurrection of Evil's last level is fixed
  • Compatibility with Microsoft Visual Studio 2015
  • Video resolutions in menu now sorted, added 2880x1800
  • Support for up to 8 mouse buttons (on Linux this needs the not-yet-released SDL2 2.0.4 or recent code from their hg repo)

Thanks in advance for testing!  :D
