ZenNode - Possibly the fastest DOOM(tm) BSP builder yet.
Future Plans: ( more or less in this order )
Customization file indicating:
- linedefs used to contain polyObj linedefs
- sectors/linedefs that should not be split
Configuration file containing default command-line switches
Ability to extract individual levels from a larger .WAD file
Build proper REJECT resource
Accept .DWD files as input
Revision History:
Ver 0.96 Changed command line option syntax.
Added user customization of the partition formula
Added BLOCKMAP compression
Added minimal support for the REJECT structure
Added /nu switch for controlling unique sub-sector creation
Added a new algorithm for more speed
Modified the original algorithm - fewer splits / a little slower :(
- uses fewer diagonal partitions
- slightly slower than before :( - but just a little - :)
Modified the algorithm for minimizing BSP tree depth - lower depth
Fixed bugs in the BLOCKMAP routines
Added balance information to BSPInfo
Ver 0.95 Added support for HEXEN WADs
Added /d switch for minimizing BSP tree depth
Added /i switch to ignore non important linedefs
Improved error messages for invalid/open WADs
Fixed bug related to WADs w/o existing NODES/SEGS
A few more minor speed-ups
Included BSPInfo
Ver 0.94 Added BLOCKMAP creation
Added new command line options:
- select multiple levels for each WAD
- merge multiple WADs into one
- specify output filename
- handle multiple seperate WADs
Replaced ZenNT with a 32-bit DPMI/Win32 Console version
Placed each platform version in its own sub-directory in .ZIP
Ver 0.93 Added ZenNT - Win32 Console version
A few more minor speed-ups
Fixed minor bugs
Added /q switch
*Ver 0.92 Added new routines to speed up the NODES build process.
Added /t switch
*Ver 0.91 Replaced Borland C++'s malloc/free to avoid a bug that causes
a GP Fault at run-time on large levels.
Added 'Heretic'(tm) to the help screen.
Ver 0.90 First public release. Rebuilds NODES found in a single .WAD
file specified on the command line.
*Not publicly released
