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
