The bottom left custom config was the closest I could get to vanilla/zdoom, no matter what the lighting contrasts slightly too much (shown) or too little. It's so disheartening how 95% of youtube videos use it and just roll with the default flat lighting and smeared textures and clipped sprites :-(Įdit: was mad enough just now to make a quick mockup. There's a happy medium somewhere in here, I'm sure of it.Įvery time I fire up gzdoom (once every year or so) I have to spend 45 minutes unfucking the default graphics settings. Not to mention, "Modernized" isn't at all what's really going on with "Doom" and "Dark" - they were attempts to replicate the software diminishing lighting, which is kind of inherently the opposite (and stuck around even when "Software" came along and did what they were attempting to do much better than they did). Going from "Standard" to "Basic" still doesn't really describe what it's doing, why it's doing it, or why you'd want it or another lighting choice over another. The problem I see with some of these is that they suffer from the same ambiguity that the current names do. That's kind of how my brain sees the light modes anyway. I wonder if the names could be snappier a little though.ĭark = "Modernized no player-light" (probably still too long) I also think we're getting to the point where Software can be the default option, though at the same time I'm just wary enough of old hardware still being in use to be truly confident about Hog I think you're on the right lines. Though I'm unsure how long the names can get before they start getting cut off by the screen's edge. Software -> "New vanilla implementation (req.Legacy ->"Emulate Doom Legacy 1.42 GL lighting".Dark -> "Old vanilla approximation, no nearby brightening"ĭark -> "Old vanilla approximation, no GLSL".Bright -> "Keep sectors relatively bright".Standard -> "Use a standard GL formula".Going by the names in the poll and the descriptions on the wiki, something like this would be good: I'm under the impression that the time for more-descriptive names was sufficiently long enough ago that we're sorely overdue for them. ![]() The mode labeled "Software" is the only correct option. The poll results are really making me think changing the default (and perhaps fixing some of the names) is prudent.
