This is Chocolate Doom’s “to do” list. Note that this is kind of an arbitrary
and unstructured wish list of features and improvements. The bug tracker
(http://chocolate-doom.org/bugs) has more feature requests.
* Multiplayer:
- Use UPnP to automatically configure port forwarding for NATed
networks.
- Multiplayer options and configuration file (server name, etc)
* Improve multiplayer startup:
- Select an IWAD automatically from the server’s game type rather than
all players having to specify -iwad.
- Send list of WADs to load instead of all clients having to specify -file.
- Same applies to dehacked patches and wad merging parameters.
* Portability improvements:
- Test on and fix for architectures where `((-2) >> 1) != -1`
- Use size-specific types (eg. `int32_t` instead of int)
- Don’t make structure packing assumptions when loading levels.
- Port to every OS and architecture under the sun
- Port to Emscripten and release a web-based version.
* Video capture mode
- Real-time recording of gameplay
- Batch conversion of demos into videos
* Heretic/Hexen/Strife:
- Merge r_draw.c to common version and delete duplicates
- Heretic v1.2 emulation (if possible)
- Hexen v1.0 emulation (if possible/necessary)
- Strife v1.1 emulation (for demo IWAD support)
- Screensaver mode
Crazy pie in the sky ideas:
* Automatic WAD installer - download and run TCs from a list automatically
(automating the current “instructions on wiki” system).
* Textscreen interface to the Compet-N database: menu driven system to
automatically download and play speedruns.
* DWANGO-like interface for finding players and setting up games.
