Release 1.5.3 of our Doom 3 Sourceport

Needs the original Doom3 (not BFG!) game data. See https://dhewm3.org/ for more information.

UPDATE 2024-04-19:

The Linux binaries of this release were buggy, see [#572].
If you want to use the Linux amd64 binaries provided here (instead of compiling yourself), please use the updated dhewm3-1.5.3try2_Linux_amd64.tar.gz and dhewm3-mods-1.5.3try2_Linux_amd64.tar.gz instead.

To avoid confusion, I deleted the old Linux binary archives from the downloads below.

The only change compared to 1.5.3 is https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/commit/6daf1e9e7f05e435ad01c8a0b2c6860d33b26182, and as far as I can tell this bug only manifests itself when compiling with ancient versions of GCC (I use 4.7.2 in my build environment; current Linux distributions ship GCC 9 or newer), so I decided against creating an entire new dhewm3 release for this.

Note: The provided Linux build now requires SDL 2.0.12 or newer.
If your system has an older version of SDL2 (e.g. 2.0.10 on Ubuntu 20.04), you can put the libSDL2-2.0.so.0 from sdl-2.30.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz into dhewm3/libs/ to make dhewm3 use this updated version of SDL2 (2.30.1).

Changes since 1.5.2:

• Support for gamepads (based on code from Quadrilateral Cowboy, but heavily expanded). See Configuration.md for more information. Needs SDL2.
• Support different file formats for screenshots by setting the r_screenshotFormat CVar (0 = TGA, still the default, 1 = BMP, 2 = PNG, 3 = JPG). r_screenshotJpgQuality and r_screenshotPngCompression allow configuring how JPG/PNG are compressed. Thanks eezstreet (Nick Whitlock)!
• Fixed problems with lights after loading a savegame (#495)
• Fix volume of some weapon sounds, like chaingun being too quit (#326)
• Increase stack size on Windows to 8MB (instead default of 1MB) to make loading huge models work
• Fixed crash in Radiant Model Preview Dialog (#496)
• Fix MD3 model support
• Several new CMake options:
  • To enable Clang/GCC Address Sanitizer and Undefined Behavior Sanitizer
  • Hardlink the game code into the executable (instead of using game DLLs, only supports base or d3xp then; needed for Undefined Behavior Sanitizer)
  • Force colored diagnostic output from GCC or Clang (esp. useful when building with ninja)
• Fix several compiler warnings
• Added build instructions for Linux (and similar systems) to README.md
• Added documentation for dhewm3-specific settings (mostly CVars): Configuration
• Updated stb_image and stb_vorbis
• Updated minizip (from zlib/contrib) to latest upstream code
• Added in_namePressed CVar to print currently pressed key/button (useful for binding keys in the console or configs). Thanks Biel Bestué de Luna!
• Updated bundled libs on Windows: OpenAL Soft 1.23.1, SDL 2.30.1, cURL 8.6.0, zlib 1.3.1
• Linux binary build provided here now requires SDL 2.0.12 or newer (I provide an updated libSDL2-2.0.so.0 though).
  If you compile dhewm3 yourself, older SDL2 versions (and SDL1.2) are still supported (however, SDL1.2 doesn't support gamepads).
