Description José Jorge 2018-09-08 16:27:49 CEST

Gzdoom is now the recommended and maintained high quality doom engine. While it needs OpenGL 3.3 hardware, it gives much better experience than other engines available in Mageia : 
- a menu to choose which Doom version to use
- enhanced graphics

@ Zézinho

You're the both the maintainer of gzdoom and the author of this bug report, I guess it is safe to assume you're working on backporting it?

Assigning to you ;-)

Yes, sorry for the half work : it is now in backports testing, ready to test.

Only one (S)RPM: 

gzdoom-3.5.0-1.mga6.x86_64.rpm

Mageia 6, x86_64

Installed from core backports testing along with freedoom.
It appears in the Games menu under Arcade.

Invoking it raises a popup enquiry about sending hardware information to the home site.  (I clicked yes.)
It then asks which of two IWADs to use.  Not a clue so I chose freedom1.

Went through the player setup stage and then choosing a game.  Ended up in "Land of the lost" and found myself being assailed by a bunch of nasties and although my aim was good I was wiped out in no time.

It looks like it is all working if you know what you are doing.

I could test it by myself in i586, with an Intel Haswell HD. All is ok playing Freedoom.
