RockDoom

[rossy!]

I use the iriver 5gb sim and when playing RockDoom the font is unreadable. I know iriver (5/6/20gb) rockbox is unsupported but the font should still be unreadible on other smaller screened players like ipod nano and iaudio. I propose releasing a seperate IWAD file (or wherever the text images are stored) either without text at all, or with a larger font for smaller players.

If you mean the font in the main Doom menu, we neither distribute, nor can we re-distribute, the commercial Doom IWADs, so it would be a little hard for us to offer an alternative with a larger font.

someone can redistribute freedoom wads with hacked fonts/graphics i think....

[Llorean]

Freedoom, yeah. Freedoom is 100% gpled, but that doesn't really solve the problem since that only fixes Freedoom.

It's been a long time since I did any Doom level editing but from what I can remember, you can actually distribute a pwad with just the graphics in it, and if you load the commercial doom.wad and then your pwad, it'll work just fine.

Now, as to the font being in the iwad, so you can pwad over it, I don't know.  My gut tells me it's in the executable.  I know all the text is in the executable, and I don't remember ever seeing the font images when browsing textures.

I'm pretty sure the font is in the IWAD, which means you could PWAD over it. But even then, I don't imagine you could succesfully use a larger font because I bet the letters would just overlap.

But don't quote me on any of that. :-P
