After a century (at least that's what it felt like) there is a new release of the client/server sourceport ZDaemon fixing countless bugs and brining it to v1.09. It's just a beta version at the moment but the changes and updates look very promising.- New Picture-In-Picture feature when spectating duels.
- "DVD-like" playback controls (play/pause/forward/backward) while watching demos.
- New "double domination" mode.
- Team radar that shows the position of teammates in all team modes.
- Built in railgun, zooming (sniper scope) and an instagib mode.
- New, highly customizable font system, offering improved readability of console and ingame messages.
- Improved unlagged.
- Much smoother movement for higher ping players.
- Clients can control the number of incoming packets (user-selectable fineticks).
- Tons of coop fixes that will make the mode much more enjoyable!
- Greatly improved Heretic support.
- Increased playerlimit from 16 to 50.
- Working polyobjects.
- Much improved wine support (linux) for the launcher and ZRC.
- Several new DMFLAGS for improved fidelity to doom2.exe.
- Improved team balancing; it should result in more balanced team games.
- A new update mechanism in ZLauncher that ensures proper and easy updates of all game related files. The mechanism will significantly simplify later upgrades to newer (beta or final) versions.
A complete list of changes and the download link can be found on the official homepage.
