Changes
1.08
- Make it clear(er) that --summary displays a summary for all level that were shown, rather than all levels in the WAD.
1.07
- Add --sort option to specify sort order (DOOM only so far). Sort orders implemented are the default sort order and the DOOM wiki sort order.
- Allow --map specifications along the lines of "--map=e1m1-5", "--map=e3m4-m7" and so on.
- Fix a --map handling glitch.
1.06
- Added --powerups option to display powerups instead of monsters (DOOM only so far).
1.05
- Fix handling of non-standard map names (noticed in TNT01_GL.WAD).
- Add --allthings option.
1.04
- Disregard custom weapons etc. when scanning for custom monsters (noticed in ZENDYN_X.WAD).
1.03
- Implement automatic adding of new DEHACKED monsters (for known IDs).
- Add --dump option.
- Add new DEHACKED id mapping: 116 => 23 (Dead Lost Soul), used in PE4_DT3.WAD
- Add more --verbose output.
1.02
- Unbreak layout for DECORATE monsters.
1.01
- First stab at DEH file loading support (--deh). Works, but only for DOOM so far. DeHackEd 2.3/3.0 files for DOOM versions 14/17/19/20/21 in patch format 5 and 6 are accepted, but testing has been very limited; BEX files haven't been tried at all. DEH-modified monsters are marked with a "[D]" in the list.
- DEHACKED lump loading support; this is automatically on, and can be disabled with --no-dehlump.
- Verbose mode (--verbose).
1.00
- Explicitely label Skulltag monsters.
- Add Abbadon and Belphegor to Skulltag monsters.
- Correct thing numbers for Blood Demon, Dark Imp and Super Shotgunner (from DoomBuilder).
- Adjust sort order of monsters:
- Blood Demon appears after Spectre now
- Dark Imp appears after Imp and Stealth Imp now
0.99
- Fix hitpoint output in compact mode.
- Avoid spurious warnings from Getopt::Long.
- Add --no-lostsouls option to ignore Lost Souls.
- Ignore case for --game selection.
0.98
- Disable Strife support for now.
- Minor --map selection fixes.
- Add --no-single option to disable single-player stats.
- Add --compact output.
- Default to all skills instead of just UV if no skill is specified.
0.97
- Allow usage of resource WADs for custom monsters.
- Correctly detect single-player vs. multi-player monsters for Hexen format maps.
- Fix layout for custom monsters.
- Flag custom monsters with [C] instead of (custom) (to save screenspace).
0.96
- Print a warning when Strife is selected as the game.
- Allow map range specifications à la --map=map01-map03, --map=e1m1-e2m8, --map=e1 (for e1m1-e1m9), --map=5-7 and so on.
0.95
- Remove mkII monsters (I can't find references to them again, and I'm not sure where I got them from, anyway).
- Hitpoint statistics.
- Tighter output layout (more 80 column-friendly, at least as long as you don't request too much information at once).
- Ability to specify --map=all and/or --skill=all.
0.90
- Recognize custom ZDoom monsters in DECORATE lumps.
- Use Getopt::Long for option processing and implement real command line options.
- Allow specification of skill level(s) / map(s) to analyze.
- Allow toggling of total monster counts, all-level summary etc.
- Don't interpret spurious THINGS entries anymore.
Earlier versions
