Gameplay

  • [Heretic][Hexen] Added the "Center inventory cursor" option to the Gameplay options menu.
    When this option is enabled, the selected item will be displayed in the middle of the inventory bar (if possible) when it is opening.
    If there are not enough items on one of the sides to fill the inventory bar, they will be shifted to that side or left if there are less than seven items in the inventory.
    Always disabled in -vanilla.
  • [Heretic][Hexen] Added the "Skip unused artifact" option to the Gameplay options menu.
    When this option is enabled (vanilla), if you try to use an artifact that can't be used (e.g., Quartz flask while having 100 HP), then the previous artifact in inventory will be selected.
    Also, when not selected artifact is expended, the selected one will be reset to the first one.
    Always enabled in -vanilla, netgame and demo playback/recording.
  • [Hexen] Added the "Wand start game mode" option to the Gameplay options menu.
    When this option is enabled and player travels to the new map cluster, his health, armor, powerups, weapons, mana, keys and artifacts will be reset, while preserving global game state. Puzzle items are also preserved for wad compatibility.
    Always disabled in -vanilla, netgame and demo playback/recording.
  • [Hexen] Added optional fix for vanilla bug with Heresiarch zero cast time.
    When Heresiarch loses his target, he switches to Spawn state and spawns another set of his cubes. Each additional cube reduces cast time until it becomes instant. This leads to almost permanent invulnerability spell.
    Switch available in config as heresiarch_zero_cast_time_fix parameter. 1 = fix enabled, 0 = fix disabled.
    Enabled by default in Recommended settings and disabled by default in Vanilla settings.
    Always disabled in -vanilla, netgame and demo playback/recording.

Russian Doom 6.3 (2023-10-29)

This release contains changes made to this code base before it was abandoned with the release of International Doom 7.0. I decided to roll back to the project's original name - Russian Doom, because it is a continuation of the original codebase and, unlike the new releases of International Doom, continues to support the translation of Doom, Heretic and Hexen games to Russian language.

Starting with this release, ports of all three games will be updated simultaneously and distributed in a single package.
Config files from previous versions of International Doom (before 7.0) will be automatically converted to configs for Russian Doom. If this did not happen, you can rename the inter-*.ini to russian-*.ini files by yourself and replace the files created by Russian Doom with them. The savegames are also compatible, but you will need to move them to a new location by yourself anyway.
