And it goes on, and on, and on! hobomaster22 has just released the latest version of DoomLauncher, the number one doom frontend for organizing and playing all your favorit wads and projects (which are currently 563 pieces in my archive to give you an idea how useful this can be). The author has fixed various issues and added a load of different new features, including
- Edit multiple fields at once.
- All grids support multiple selections with more user friendly prompts.
- Multiple file detection for updating metadeta. Now prompts user to select a match if no size match is found.
- Accept All button added when updating metadeta for multiple files.
- Select multiple files at once for launching. A prompt will ask for the main file to associate data with and everything else will be automatically added to the additional files list.
- Can browse through tag tabs when selecting additional launch files.
- GameFiles directory can now be changed in the Settings menu.
- Statistics tracking (kills, secrets, items, and time). Run dialog contains a Save Statistics check box that becomes available for supported ports:
ZDoom: Uses save games to parse statistics. This means statistics cannot be read for the last level of an episode. Items are not available. Statistics will be recorded when the game is saved or when an auto save is generated.
PrBoomPlus: Uses the -levelstat parameter and parses the generated levelstat.txt. All statistics will be recorded when the game has exited.
CNDoom: Uses the -printstats parameter and parses the generated stdout.txt. All statistics will be recorded when the game has exited.
Just download the new version from the official project page on the Realm667 and extract the new files into the program's directory by overwriting the old ones and you are ready to go. Have fun!

This is one of the most historic events of all time for any of us Doomers: John Romero released a new map for Doom after being absent for 21 years, actually his own replacement of E1M8 for "Knee-Deep in the Dead" (Sandy did the original one that we all know). This is…

Dang, another year passed, another DoomsDay reached. Congratulations to your 22nd birthday Doom. Who would have thought that we are still here now after such a long time. The last year was full of achievements, surprises but also of sad moments, if we just think about…
Ever played 2010's Cacoward-also-ran Threshold of Pain by scalliano? If you missed it, time to catch up, because the second act of it's sequel Threashold of Pain has been released some time ago (how could I have missed that!). Along the way you'll find out more about…
This is not perfectly Doom-related but considering its history in relation to Wolfenstein 3D it somehow is after all. The mapper Woolie Wool has released his project Operation Serpent First Encounter about 2 weeks ago and in my eyes it's one of the most ambitious…
