This is an unofficial update for QuestZDoom, in order to install the update you need to uninstall the official version first.

QuestZDoom Release 11 - Christmas Update

📢 IMPORTANT NOTICE

You will find a new built in profile system in the game now, I am not going to advertise the feature too much since I have decided to put it on hold since a launcher update is scheduled with a new profile system that will be different from the one in game. My plan is to change the implemenetation to make it works with the next launcher update as well, so you can create profiles from the launcher and also swap between them directly in game.
The actual implementation rely on the use of different commandline.txt files propertly named to build the profile list, is really that easy if you know how to create and edit these files, you find a brief guide in the profile menu. The way profiles are created will change once the launcher update is out, both ways should work once the update is out, but I am not promising anything since I only got a few details regarding the future launcher update. The profile option is at the moment in the experimental menu that can be enabled from the miscellaneous options.
The new experimental menu is for features in development, that means all the nice things you find in there can change or disappear without notice.

🎅 Changelog 🎅🏿

qzd3.88-r10a...emawind84:qzd3.88-r11

• improved performance with dynamic lights (three new advanced options under dynlight menu)
• fixed missing reflection when skybox is disabled or when using global fade effect
• the player sprite on mirror will not rotate and will always face the player. In VR when looking in a mirror the sprite of the player turns in an inconsistent way. We don't really need to see us rotate in the mirror right?
• fixed nightvision not affecting skydome and global fade effect - removed uGlobalFadeMode value 3 not used anymore
• added three options under vr options menu to move and scale a weapon sprite, usefull with mods that don't have 3d weapons available, when the weapon sprite is too big and not centered on the controller (check the wiki page API Changes, link down below).
• Many action functions have been corrected to work with weapon orientation.
• Action functions horizontal and vertical offsets can be enabled by turning on the option from the experimental menu.
• fixed bug when momentum is disabled, the player vertical velocity is zeroed before touching the floor, this prevent lava and such floors from inflicting damage to the player.
• fixed bug when moving a weapon to the other hand, don't pick the next weapon if it has twohanded flag A twohanded weapon was still picked up causing the immediate deselection of the moved weapon. If I am moving a weapon to the other hand I would like to use it right away.
• fixed movement on lift when going down airfriction is applied to velocity making the player sliding (the issue is present with momentum enabled) - smothed the vertical movement when on lift, the platform should be more stable when moving on the lift
• fixed sigil weapon third form attack wrong angle and pitch causing all the missile to fire with the same angle and pitch
• added missing sounds for Grenade actor (converted in ogg from Skulltag)
• added three new options to misc menu, load lights, load brightmaps and disable autoload, since we can not change them from the launcher on qzd.
• added three options under vr menu to offset the weapon position in vr
• fix: when helding two weapons and one of them is auto firing at fast rate, the other will not be able to fire. The player property attackdown is used for both readyweapon and offhandweapon, this create the issue, added a new property for the offhand weapon and refactored the method CheckWeaponFire. Also fixed mugshot tick function so both readyweapon and offhandweapon are checked for the rampagetimer.
• added the gameplay option Always spawn multiplayer objects into qzd so you can play the ultra violence+ mode added to the unity port.
• fix: added new option to misc menu to enable the spawn offset for weapon action functions, disabled by default since it breaks mods using offset based on player height and position (moved to experimental menu).
• added new profile option to experimental menu (A new temporary way to switch between mods by using different commandline files, how-to in the menu)
• new experimental menu, can be enabled with a new option from the misc menu.
• feat: removed questzdoom info and credits from the cheat menu mod, moved into main menudef - also added the give all cheat under the command 'Give me everything!'
• fix: request storage permission without the need of exit the game, it will still crash if it can't find any iwad to start the game.
• beautified the info and credits menu, we have a custom questzdoom logo patch in the game now so take a look!
• many other fixes (check the changelog on the wiki)

The mod has been modified to work with the release 11 of QuestZDoom, full dual wield binding is required to use two weapons, all weapons fire states have been fixed to work with weapon orientation in VR.
Most of the weapons having left and right fire have been split and they can be held with mainhand and offhand. Some exceptions are weapons like Colts (one unique sprite, it cannot be split), they can be used by pressing Fire and Offhand Fire buttons (originally Fire and Alt fire) and they are held with one hand only.

🎄 Final Notes

I want to thank everyone involved in the project, without them this game would not exist in the first place.
I personally put my soul into this game, I love programming even though is really a love and hate relation. Making things work as they should, reading and watching people playing something which I put lots of energy into is of great satisfaction.
