Today I released a new version of PrBoom4Android. This is a major
update! It is no longer necessary to download the extra sound files.
Sounds and music are extracted directly from the .WAD files. This is
a good thing since I believe providing the sounds as was done
previously is a copyright violation since they were extracted from the
original Doom WAD. At this point it is now possible to put this in
the Android Market for the masses to enjoy without worrying about it
being taken down for copyright infringement.

If you are reading this, you will want to download the latest apk and
enjoy all the original sounds and music!

Enjoy!

Just wanted to say I've spent some time testing this with my Ultimate Doom Wad and I have some notes for ya!

 First of all. Fantastic job. This thing is fast and fun and easy to play!

Issues:
- Still can get trapped spinning in certain circumstances moving and turning at the same time. It's easy to recover but can be a pain.

- Repeat music if it reaches the end. This is most noticeable on the first level, as the song is so short after it's done it just goes silent.

- Bring up the keyboard on the save screen to type a name if touch controls used.

- Cannot scroll around the map can only move the dot left right (not sure how to accomplish this at all though).


Add:
- Toggles for cheats in main menu (iddqd, idspispopd (idclip for doom II+), idkfa, idfa, idbehold(s,L,r))

- Add sensitivity to touch controls
- Add Invert Y to touch controls
- General Arguments like DM or Map Select to a drop-down rather than a text box as most people don't know the syntax for arguments.

What's the possibility of changing from prBoom to prBoom Plus to get GL capabilities (like better res, effects, etc).

FYI, try long pressing the menu button to bring up the soft keyboard
just like you would in any other Android app. That's been implemented
for some time now.

Also, if you can please use http://code.google.com/p/prboom4android/issues/list
to post issues. Much easier to keep track of there.

Roger on both accounts. I know how to use the KB, just not intuitive to someone who might NOT know ;-). I'll submit future issues and such that way.

Yes you can. As of version 1.2.5-beta network play is enabled.
Please see http://groups.google.com/group/doom-for-android/t/8ca47722797a7fd9

My phone (samsung replenish on sprint) will not let me install any
version of prboom, and will not download any wad files. Any
suggestions? Dying to play Doom again!!!

I've found a small bug:
On Xperia Play, when i bind the 'X' button as 'Fire', cheats 'idclev'
and 'idclip' don't work.

Idclip only works in doom 2 or later. Idspispopd is for ultimate or shareware. Odd that idclev doesnt work

>> Idclip only works in doom 2 or later.
If i bind the key ('X' as 'Fire'), then this doesn't works in every
IWad, if i don't bind the key, then it works fine, also in shareware
doom.
