Update 5 for DOOM Eternal (PC Mods)

This update comes with a major Launcher update.

DOOM Eternal Launcher (v 8.1.10)​

New Features​

---

Mod cleanup tool​

The Mod Cleanup Tool can be used to cleanup old or invalid mods from your save directories on disk.

To run this tool:

1. Open DOOM Eternal Launcher
2. Sign in to a valid Bethesda.net account
3. Click Mods from the app's navigation bar
4. Select Tools from the left-side menu
5. Click Mod Cleanup Tool from the list of available tools
6. Click "Run tool" in the pop-up dialog

Mod validator tool​

The Mod Validator Tool can be used to validate and update your existing mods on disk to the latest form factor available. This tool requires users to sign in to a valid Bethesda.net account.

To run this tool:

1. Open DOOM Eternal Launcher
2. Sign in to a valid Bethesda.net account
3. Click Mods from the app's navigation bar
4. Select Tools from the left-side menu
5. Click Mod Validator Tool from the list of available tools
6. Click "Run tool" in the pop-up dialog

PLEASE NOTE: This tool outputs an audit file that describes whether or not each mod was properly migrated. If a mod fails migration, it is a best practice to uninstall and re-download that mod from the servers.

Mod conflict viewer​

To run this tool:

1. Open DOOM Eternal Launcher
2. Click Mods from the app's navigation bar
3. Select Tools from the left-side menu
4. Click Mod Conflict Viewer from the list of available tools
5. On the "mod conflicts page" click the Check for Conflicts button

PLEASE NOTE: before running the tool, make sure you have set an appropriate activemod loadout on the Play page. If no mods are selected in your loadout, the conflict checker will not find anything!

This is a new tool available in the DOOM Eternal Launcher. This tool utilizes sandbox the create a "conflict file log" which the Launcher can then read and display information in a consumable fashion to the user. There are two separate UI's availabe the Basic UI and the Advanced UI.

The Basic UI is designed to list conflicts between two selected mods as a method of comparing similar mods in your loadout. This mode is primarily geared towards non-creator mod users who want to play mods but are running into issues with their current loadout.

The Advanced UI is designed to fully list all conflicts between ALL mods in the activemods loadout. This mode lists all conflicts by file; each entry in the table can be clicked on to view which mods are altering the selected file. The Advanced UI is primarily geared towards creators who want to create mods that are highly compatible with other popular mods.

idStudio Mod Updates​

The idStudio mod UI was migrated over to the "common mod details" UI so that it flows much the same way as other details pages. There has also been a slight change in behavior regarding the "server mod association" properties on an idStudio mod and how the user interacts with mods in different states.

Server mod associations​

idStudio mods can have 3 main states as denoted here:

State	Description
Local only	This mod only exists locally on the current user's machine.
Has a server association	This mod exists on disk and is mapped to a valid creation
Has an invalid association	This mod exists on disk but is mapped to an invalid creation

The UI in the Launcher for the Server mod association has been updated to correctly reflect the current state of the association. Previously the third state (Has an invalid association did not exist and was not covered).

Additionally, the server mod association state now dictates whether or not the user can Edit or Upload the current idStudio mod from its idStudio details page. Essentially users can only Edit/Upload and idStudio mod if and only if their current idStudio mod does NOT have a server mod association.

In the event that their mod has a server mod association they should make any required edits/changes to the mod from the Creations details page instead.

Mod list upgrades​

All mod lists have been completely reworked so that they provide a better UI/UX. Specifically they now:

• provide a powerful mod filtering system
• right-click menu access with several quick actions (such as Downloading a mod or Uninstalling a mod)
• configurable mod item layouts that can be used to limit or maximize the amount of information displayed at any given time

DOOM Eternal Launcher (v 7.10.4)​

Updates​

---

General​

This version of the Launcher has restructured the front-end of the application to create a separate layer outside of the internal navigation structures. This helps maintain statefulness of the UI and promotes more efficient navigation. This adjustment to the layout helps better convey context to the end user.

• Updated application build and packaging to improve Steam launch times.
• Improved resource usage and responsiveness across the app.
• Better handling for dragging the application window around.
• Better statefulness of internal cached data.
• Better handling for navigating between views (promotes better network call efficiency)
• Added a loading window for better user feedback.
• Improved offline detection for when the mods service or internet are not available.
• Changed the "Download" button to behave uniformly across the app.
• Updated all datetime fields to respect the user's localization settings.

Bypass Mode​

Added support for a bypass mode. If the user does not want to use mods they can set a preference for skipping the launcher and starting DOOM Eternal immediately. This preference can be changed at any time by pulling up the launcher from their task bar. Additionally the bypass mode is automatically active for handhelds and streaming platforms.

Offline Mode​

This version of the Launcher adds support for an "Offline mode" which is governed by a few things.

• Network access
• The Launcher being installed in the correct folder alongside the game files so it can access necessary files.
• The Launcher receiving a healthy status from the BNet mods service.

While in "Offline mode" users can still

• Play the retail version of the game.
• Play the modded version of the game with the mods they have on their PC.
• Open idStudio to work on new mods with local content.
• Access previously downloaded/installed content.

Mod Browsing Updates​

The Browse page has undergone an extensive rework to improve its usability. This rework focused on:

1. Increasing page render efficiency while under load.
2. Decrease network traffic during page load and navigation.
3. Adding better accessbility through an improved layout.
4. Improved use of space by showing relevant data in a more efficient way.

The following improvements were also made.

• Updated page loaders to be more responsive to data load times.
• Updated the layout to present the users with
  • Clear filters / search section
  • Reduce visual noise allowing the users to focus on the mod lists.
• Added a paginator for search results and made it sticky so that it remainds at the top of the screen during scroll.
• The search bar is no longer a "type-ahead" search. Instead it is now triggered by clicking the search button or the pressing the "enter" key.
• Searching can now be done dynamically in three modes.
  • text search: typing normally in the search field will perform a search on mod titles
  • author search: typing an @ before a keyword will perform an author search for the keyword (this must match the whole author's name)
  • tag search: typing a # before a keyword will perform a tag serach for the key word; users can search for multiple tags in a single search

Managing Mods and Asset Packs​

Many of the other subscreens that are geared towards managing mod content have been completely reworked. The main focus was manging large collections of mods more succinctly.

• Mod lists (left side panel) have all been expanded to a wider section of the screen.
• All mod lists received a "Search" bar that performs a local search on the mod list. This is helpful when the user has lots of mods in a list.
• Update the general layout of these pages to present a more uniform layout; the goal was to utilize space more efficiently and reduce visual noise.

Playing mods​

• Added "Import save profile" functionality to the "Play" page; allowing users to import their save data from the standard version of DOOM Eternal.
• Simplified the "Active mods" list and all of the actions required to manipulate the load order of mods.

Uploading and Downloading Mods​

The download/upload workflows have been completely reworked from top to bottom. The system now:

• Provides a realtime readout of the current download/upload queue.
• Has queue functionality to grant users greater control over how their pc's resources are used.
• Provides greater clarity/transparency into what is happening at all times during an upload/download.

New Downloads Page​

This page is only visible when the user is signed into BNET. It is accessible through the application header (next to the settings button).

New Uploads Page​

This page is located under Creations > Uploads as uploading mods is something only Creators can do. To create a mod the users must:

• Be using a Steam version of the Launcher
• Have idStudio installed on disk
• Have a valid BNet account

Update 2 for DOOM Eternal (PC Mod Preview) includes some new features, bug fixes, and quality of life improvements.

DOOM Eternal (PC Mod Preview): Update 1.2.0​

Features​

---

Save Games​

You can now import base game saves into Sandbox ( on Steam only ). This setting is available as an optional checkbox on the Mods > Play page. Checking this box will migrate your base game save file over to the modded version of DOOM Eternal. Please note, using this setting will overwrite the modded game save with the game save file from the base game every time this box is checked.

Unreferenced Decl Support​

Before this update only decls currently referenced in the base game tree could be modified. This required new decls to be added somewhere they could be discovered. This was problematic for certain decls which were unreferenced. (The primary use case was for new milestone decls). Now these decls are scanned at mod load time and do not need to be part of the existing tree.

Mod map visibility​

Active mod maps that are loaded by Sandbox are now displayed in the Extras portion of the main menu. This makes it easier to load into modded maps instead of needing to use the console. If you provide a mapinfo decl the menu will use the name supplied there. Otherwise it will use the filename of the map.

Bug Fixes​

---

• Fixed a bug with the spawn console command where the wrong AI could get spawned
• Improvements to modded music tracks and track switching

idStudio: Update 1.2.0​

Features​

---

Package Browser​

An internal tool named RSBrowser has been added to idStudio as Package Browser. This tool allows you to open, explore, and export files from idTech asset containers. The supported file extensions include .resources, .pk5, and .wad7. The tool can be found at Mod -> Package Browser.

This same tool can be used to export entire mods. If modders would like to make their mod available for other people to modify they can package it with the mod's raw assets. If they do not wish to allow this then it is recommended to only package the generated/cooked version of your assets.

Brush Merge Epsilon​

Changed the brush merge coefficient to a cvar (idStudio_mergePlaneEpsilon) to allow modders to adjust sensitivity.

Obj Support​

Made obj files permissible in more tools. Added vertex painting support

FBX Support​

Added vertex painting support

Bug Fixes​

---

Bug Fixes​

---

• Fix packaging and application of packagemapspec overlays.

idStudio​

• Fixed a bug where idStudio would overwrite some mod metadata.

Updates​

---

Mod Packer 2.0​

Packaging mods with maps resulted in a lot of unmodified files being outputted to the mod's directory. The Mod Packer now tracks and removes these files after the packaging process is done. This adds about a minute to processing time but keeps the directory from being overly polluted.

Known Issues (idStudio: Hotfix 1.1.2)​

Asset Import Crash​

---

Crash may occur when importing a material asset over the original. The crash occurs when the user pastes an edited copy of the TGA into the mod directory, opting to replace the duplicate. This may result in a crash or a force-close. Likely affects all asset types.

Workaround​

Close idStudio (or at least close any editors/viewports that are referencing assets) before importing.

This is a hotfix version for DOOM Eternal (PC Mod Preview). This version should fix issues that were encountered during mod packaging and decl filtering, and remediates the issues that arose in Update 1. There are still a few known issues in idStudio which are detailed below.

Known issues (idStudio: Hotfix 1.1.1)​

Asset Import Crash​

---

A crash may occur when importing a material asset over the original. The crash occurs when the user pastes an edited copy of the TGA into the mod directory, opting to replace the duplicate. This may result in a crash or a force-close. Likely affects all asset types.

Workaround​

Close idStudio (or at least close any editors/viewports that are referencing assets) before importing.

Mod Packer Processing​

---

The Mod Packer may take an extra minute to process the filter list after packaging a mod. When this occurs, it appears that the Mod Packer is processing through a larger list of the generated directory than before the map was packaged. This causes the Mod Packer to appear unresponsive, but it is still working and processing behind the scenes.

Workaround​

This occurs if the decl filter is toggled on when refreshing. If decls are not needed, toggle that type off before refreshing.

The latest update for DOOM Eternal (PC Mod Preview) brings major content updates, new and updated features, bug fixes, and more.

This is a large content update that includes new asset packs for both PvP and DLC (content only), as well as improvements to idStudio and the DOOM Eternal Launcher which focus on performance, resource efficiency, and stability. Read on for more details.

DOOM Eternal (PC Mod Preview) (v 1.1.0)​

Content Updates​

---

Two new tutorial asset packs are available for download. These asset packs are:

• Graveyard - Combat Arena Example: An arena map that highlights all aspects of a fully featured map.
• Maps 101: A set of example maps that demonstrate various aspects of level design.

Specifically, the Maps 101 maps demonstrate:

• Level design scale standards
• Scale standards for dashing and ledge grabbing
• Simple AI pathing
• Simple clip testing
• Simple door example
• Simple elevator example
• Flight Nav test
• Logic Mover test

Additionally, we have published several PvP asset packs as well as the remainder of the main game's assets including DLC1 and DLC2 content wads under the "Asset Packs" page.

Features/Updates​

---

Mod Packer 2.0​

We've rebuilt the Mod Packer using feedback from the community to make it more intuitive to use. Now you'll be able to toggle showing binary versus binary+raw assets. You can choose to show only modified files. You can regenerate all modified assets to clean your asset tree of unmodified files and you can select filters for various common asset types. We'll continue to take feedback on this tool to make it easier and more intuitive to use. Overall, this should help Modders understand what needs to go into a mod as well as reducing overall mod sizes.

Mod Testing Options​

You can now choose to keep idStudio open when testing your mod so that you don't need to incur the startup time each time you want to test your mod.

Modded Audio​

DOOM Eternal Launcher (v 7.6.1)​

This is a very large content update for the DOOM Eternal Launcher, with many bug fixes, stabilization updates, and improvements to uploads and downloads.

Features/Updates​

---

Downloads​

Downloads in the DOOM Eternal Launcher have been completely overhauled to bring a better experience to all users. This version of the DOOM Eternal Launcher adds a "Downloads" section on the File sync application menu (found in the application header). This dropdown shows a high-level overview of the current active download as well as an overall count of the number of downloads in the queue.

Additionally, this version adds a "Download Queue pop-up dialog" that allows users to:

• Visualize their download queue as well as completed downloads during the current session.
• Reorder queue priority (for non-active downloads).
• Remove downloads from the queue.
• Cancel the active download.

The UI for reporting download progress has also been slightly updated in an effort to give more detailed feedback during longer downloads:

• Added download progress indicators to mod preview cards and mod preview list items.
• Updated all download buttons to provide a numeric value for the percentage done on a download (instead of just a progress bar).

Uploads​

Uploads in the DOOM Eternal Launcher have also been completely reworked to provide a better experience and promote stability during the lifecycle of a mod upload. This version of the DOOM Eternal Launcher adds a "Uploads" section on the File sync application menu (found in the application header). This dropdown shows a high-level overview of the current active upload as well as an overall count of the number of uploads in the queue.

Additionally, this version adds an "Upload Queue pop-up dialog" that allows users to:

• Reorder queue priority (for non-active uploads).
• Remove uploads from the queue.

The UI for reporting upload progress has been updated to give users as close to real-time feedback as possible:

• Updated all upload buttons to provide a numeric value for the percentage done on an upload (instead of just a progress bar).
• Adjusted timings of progress reports to the UI thread so that the progress is more accurately reported in real time.

Notifications​

Notifications in the DOOM Eternal Launcher have been completely reworked. This was done with the goal of providing more accurate/valuable feedback, a condensed message structure that is space-efficient on screen, and more extensibility for future notifications. New notifications for error reporting were added as well, including such errors as:

• Image upload failures.
• Mod and release upload failures.
• Content publish/unpublish failures.

Authentication​

This version of the DOOM Eternal Launcher now offers a "Remember me" option when signing in to a Bethesda.net account. By selecting this option users can have the DOOM Eternal Launcher remember and restore their user session after closing the application down.

Mod Link Sharing​

Mod detail pages in both the Browse and Library tabs now have a button that allows users to either:

• Open the mod's Bethesda.net web portal page.
• Copy a link to the Bethesda.net web portal page to their clipboard.

UI/UX Improvements​

Installed Version Display​

The DOOM Eternal Launcher now shows which version of a mod is installed via a mini "Installed" tag next to the appropriate version name. Additionally, on screens where versions are not readily displayed, the Launcher will display the version name that is installed on disk.

"Creation Details" Page​

The details page for a creation (mod that you have authored) has been updated to better reflect the context of "creating mods" as well as to improve UX and enhance common workflows for creations.

These updates primarily include:

• The Publish button is now the primary button on the screen (large button on the detail's action bar).
• The Download button and its functionality have been moved to the "Releases" tab so that mod authors can easily download any previous version of their mod.

"New Mod" Page​

The "New Mod" page has been updated slightly to include:

• Multi-screenshot uploads (users can now select more than one screenshot at a time to upload).
• The updated "New Release" panel that includes new features (listed below).
• An interactive tutorial for the "New Mod" page. This can be accessed by clicking the ? button in the application header.

"New Release" Page​

The "New Release" screen/panel has been updated to have a better/more consumable layout and provide the user with better error reporting while filling out the "New Release" form.

Error reporting on this page has also been improved:

• Users are now warned of potential release naming collisions.
• Input controls now prevent the user from adding any characters over the character limit for each form entry.
• Added an interactive tutorial for the "New Release" page. This can be accessed by clicking the ? button in the application header.

Additional Statistics: "PLAYS"​

This version of the Launcher exposes the "PLAYS" stat or the number of users who have downloaded and set a mod in their load order when starting a modded session of DOOM Eternal.

New Setting: Streamer Mode​

This version of the Launcher adds a new setting called "Streamer Mode". This setting, when turned on, hides the current user's semi-private data. Specifically, this setting will:
