Save Organization

• New option to let dsda-doom organize your saves
  • Save files will be stored in the data directory (see below)
• There are now pages in the save / load screens, giving you more file slots

Data Directory

• Nested folder structure organizing persistent data used by dsda-doom
• Example: dsda-doom -iwad doom2 -file rush will produce dsda_doom_data/doom2/rush/
• You can change the root location with -data path or with the environment variable DOOMDATADIR
• Directories are created automatically
• Currently stores save files, attempts, splits

Command Display

• New option to display command history
• Disabled while strict mode is active
• Can be used for playback analysis, tasing, practice, etc

Coordinate Display

• New option to display coordinates / velocity
• Disabled while strict mode is active
• Position display uses doom units
  • Doom uses fractions instead of floating points for position variables
  • For example, the coordinate 3.7 doesn't exist. The closest position is 3 + 45875 / 65536
  • This will display as 3.45875 so that you have the exact location without approximations
• Velocity display is color-coded based on speed thresholds:
  • speed achievable without straferunning
  • speed achievable with sr40
  • speed achievable with sr50
  • speed beyond sr50 range
• Useful for figuring out setups, tasing, practice, etc

• Command list:
  • player.sethealth x

  • player.roundx, roundy, roundxy
  • command.lock C V
    • C is MF, MB, SR, or SL
    • V is the value
    • Locks part of tic command to the given value
  • command.unlock
• More to come, this is just a proof of concept

Split Data

• On intermission screen, compares current time to personal best
• Includes both IL comparison and movie comparison
• Enable it in the settings

Text File Exporter
