D-GLES is an unofficial 3D hardware accelerated source port of the Doom Engine, using OpenGLES, on Android.
It exploits the graphics processor of your smartphone / tablet to deliver amazing graphics not present in the original version.
You are a soldier who fights hordes of Demons on strange planets !
It supports:
- Hires resolutions
- Realtime dynamic lighting
- Particles effects
- 3D Monsters and objects (MD2)
- Blood projections
- Realistic water effect
- Glow
- Lens flares
- Sun's GodRays
- Realtime Shadows
- MOGA controller support. (Moga is available at major US retailers and online at http://www.powera.com/moga)
- Xperia Play gamepad buttons (analog sticks not supported, probably later)
- Keyboard support (USB, bluetooth, embedded)
- Buttons mapping (Xperia Play / Shield / Moga / USB GamePads / Keyboard)
- and much more
Also for the purists who want the original experience, there is an option to unfilter the textures (for big pixels lovers).
D-GLES comes with Freedoom and Requiem megawad.
If you own commercial games (Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, TNT or Plutonia), copy the wad files in your device at this location: /sdcard/Kokak/DoomGLES/
!!! COMMERCIAL FULL GAME IWADS ARE NOT PRESENT IN THIS RELEASE !!!
You can find Doom Shareware here (it contains "doom1.wad").
Starting with V1.3, OpenGL textures are automatically generated (ETC format) and the music is directly played from the wad in MIDI format.
Most of the textures are generated at the first level you launch. Depending on your device it may take a while (it hasn't crashed, please be patient). Also, as this conversion is very time consuming, the textures are in medium quality.
If you wish, in the data packs below, you can find pre-computed high quality textures for your GPU. It will launch faster, will be better quality, but will use some flash memory space on your device.
In those packs, there are also converted musics, if you don't like the MIDI rendering (lot of memory space too).
Here the size of the downloaded data (OpenGL and converted music):
Doom shareware + common datas: ~40MB
Ultimate Doom datas: ~100MB
Doom 2 datas: ~185MB
Plutonia datas: ~80MB
TNT datas: ~70MB
On the launch window you can choose various options, you can also add classic doom command line parameters (like "-warp episode map").
To use a custom PWAD, copy it to your device in /sdcard/Kokak/DoomGLES/, copy converted datas in the same folder, and add on the command line "-file wadname.wad"
To convert PWAD datas, see "How to convert datas to OpenGLES"
Planned features for next releases:
- Installation of datas on "real" SDCard (ExtSdCrad)
- Touch interface edition
- Better network support
- More nice graphics effects
- XPeria Play touch pads support
What's new:
24 January 2015 - D-GLES is back online. One month ago (the 22th of december), Zenimax emailed Google to tell them they are not opposed to the publication of a new version of D-GLES (renamed from Doom-GLES, with the shareware wad removed from the app). Google didn't move for one month (ignoring my emails or automatic systems rejecting my demands). Finally yesterday, they replied they reinstated the app. I had updated it and published it today.

How to convert Datas to OpenGLES
Download D-GLES data convertor for Windows DGLES2Convert converts Doom datas to OpenGLES (2.0) compatible ones. You need Microsoft .NET framework 2.0 installed on your PC.
Unzip the archive in a folder on your hardrive.
Copy Doom IWAD & PWADS you wish to convert in this folder.
To convert the maps, open a command line window or create a .bat file containing the commands (or edit the provided test.bat file):
Doom 1 : DGLES2Convert -iwad "iwad_name".wad [-file "pwad_name".wad] -warp "episode" "map" -"texture_option"
Doom 2, Plutonia, TNT : DGLES2Convert -iwad "iwad_name".wad [-file "pwad_name".wad] -warp "map" -"texture_option"
Note that the -file parameter is optionnal (used for PWAD conversion)
In OpenGLES2 folder, a subfolder with the name of the WAD will be created. Copy this subfolder to your Android Device in /sdcard/Kokak/DoomGLES/OpenGLES2, and launch DoomGLES choosing the correct IWAD & PWAD.
Example: DGLES2Convert -iwad doom.wad -file myCustomWad.wad -warp 1 1 -atc
Will convert the map 1 from episode 1 of the PWAD myCustomWad.wad for Ultimate Doom, for Adreno GPU.
You will need to know the GPU of your device in order to choose the correct texture option.
Tegra device: -goforce
Adreno device: -atc
Other devices: -etc1
If you don't know your GPU, search for your device specifications on http://www.gsmarena.com for example.
For more informations, please read the DGLES2Convert readme.txt file
Compatibility
D-GLES should run on any OpenGLES 2.0 compatible Android device.
Screenshots
Trailer (gameplay video on 1280x800 tegra Android tablet)
New trailer (V1.2)
New trailer (V1.3)
New effects (Android V1.2+)
MD5 support (Doom 3 model format)
Controls
When the Splash screen is displayed, press on the pause icon on the top-left corner. It will display the main menu. Navigate throught it with the arrows on the left. Validate with the green "check" button on the right.
In game:
Control the player movements with the virtual stick on the left part of the screen.
Control the player view by dragging one finger on the right part of the screen.
Use the cross button to fire.
Use the hand button to open doors or interact with switches.
Use the double-arrow button to toggle speed.
Use the numbers buttons to choose your weapon.
Use the world button to see the map.
Use the pause button to display the Doom Menu.
Press the arrow icons on the guy face to display brightness correction & interface transparency controls.
Controls mapping
From ingame "Controls" menu (in options menu) you can map any function to an hardware key (keyboard or Gamepad).
You can also choose which stick axis you will assign to a movement (Android >= 3.1 devices)
Multiplayer
To launch a multiplayer game, you need to know each devices IP addresses.
TCP/IP game is cross-platform (Android, Blackberry, Gamestick, and any other future plateform).
You need to enter the following parameters in the command line editbox in the launch window.
Your IP address is displayed above the command line.
If you are connected via wifi, this will be your LAN IP address.
network command line parameters:
-net id host1 host2 ...
id: numeric id of this device (1-4)
host1 host2...: List of IP addresses of others devices.
Example for a 2 player game starting on Doom episode 1 mission 1:
Device 1 IP address = 192.168.2.2
Device 2 IP address = 192.168.2.3
Device 1 command line= -warp 1 1 -net 1 192.168.2.3
Device 2 command line= -net 2 192.168.2.2
If the network game is too slow. Try to lower the graphics options (especially on the weakest device). You could also try some command line parameters like -extratic or -dup.
See command line parameters here: http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/Parameter
Please note, the multiplayer may not work correctly on some devices. For example, on Acer A500 (stock ROM), there are a lot of freezes for an unknown reason (issue in the wifi driver ?).
If you want to play through Internet, you will need your WAN IP address.
If you are connected in 3G (or 4G), the IP address in the launch window is your WAN IP. Please note the port 666 needs to be opened by your internet provider. You can change the port used by D-GLES by using the -port command line. All clients need to use the same port.
If your are connected in wifi through a router, you will need to recover you WAN IP by visiting this site for example: http://wanip.info/
You will also need to forward the 666 port (UDP) on the LAN IP of your device. You need to do that on your wifi router.
In the future, the network multiplayer should use client/server with matchmaking.
Options
Most graphics options can be changed ingame:
1- Select "More Options"
2- Select "Graphics"
In this page, you can choose to have coronas or anamorphic lens flares (or nothing), dynamic lighting, water quality (no effect, reflection effect, fresnel & specular (high), 3D Objects (MD2), particles & blood
3- Select "NEXT PAGE" to see more options
In this page, you can activate Glow, Lens flares, GodRays, Sun shadows & choose the number of lights casts shadows on a single model. You can also add dynamic ligthing & fire particles on lost souls monsters (flying skulls)
Most of the options of this page are set to off, because most of the devices at this current time will render them too slowly. It is up to you to choose which ones you want.
In the launch window, you can disable texture filtering (if you like big pixels). There are also some debug options:
"Fast Godrays": on most devices it must be set.
"Alternate Lens Flares (Debug)": On some devices (Mali 400 MP4) there is a strange random colorized rectangle in the center of the screen.
"Luminance Shadowmaps (Tegra 4)": Use luminance shadowmaps instead of RGB (supported only by some modern GPU, like Tegra 4)
Finally, for the most motivated, in /sdcard/Kokak/DoomGLES, there is the config file "doomgles.cfg". It is a text file. You can tweak postfx instensity from there:
"glowbrght" [0 - 6000]: Glow generation threshold
"LFIntensityAlone" [0 - 100]: Lens flares intensity when used without godrays
"GRIntensityAlone" [0 - 100]: Godrays intensity when used without lens flares
"LFIntensity" [0 - 100]: Lens flares intensity when used with godrays
"GRIntensity" [0 - 100]: Godrays intensity when used with lens flares
FAQ
Q: I first launched the game. I see splash screens cycling. How do I start the game ?
A: When the Splash screen is displayed, press on the cross button on the bottom-right of the screen, or the pause icon on the top-left corner. It will display the main menu. Navigate throught it with the arrows on the left. Validate with the green "check" button on the right.
If the interface icons are barely visibles, please read next FAQ entry.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: The game is too dark, how can can change brightness ? I barely see the touch interface, how can I improve that ?
A: Press the arrow icons on the ingame guy face to display brightness correction & interface transparency controls.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: I have a Galaxy S2, and the game crashes when the imp fires its fireball ?
A: I have reports from some GS2 users who experience this crash. It seems to be linked to the dynamic lighting & MD2 rendering. While this issue is sorted out, you can disable the dynamic lighting or 3D Monsters in the launch screen options.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: In Doom 2, I don't see the walls and floors, I and the ennemies are floating in the air.
A: You need Doom2 wad V1.9. Same thing for Doom the first, you also need Ultimate Doom V1.9
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Since I've upgraded to V1.08 (or greater version), the Xperia Play controls don't work anymore.
A: you can remap the gamepad buttons in the new "controls" menu inside the "Options" menu.
Or more simply, you can just delete the doomgles.cfg file in /sdcard/kokak/DoomGLES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: #@!!??!!, this is not the full games, I've paid for the full games !!!!
A: No, you paid for the engine port (months of work + support), not the data. Same thing when you buy an emulator, you pay for the emulator (= the engine), not the games it emulates (= the data) which are commercial materials you need to own.
Also, the game description on Google Play Store clearly states that:
"D-GLES comes with Freedoom and Requiem megawad.
If you own commercial games (Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, TNT or Plutonia), copy the wad files in your device at this location: /sdcard/Kokak/DoomGLES/
!!! COMMERCIAL FULL GAME IWADS ARE NOT PRESENT IN THIS RELEASE !!!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: On my Asus Transformer Prime, the keyboard is not working.
A: The default keyboard is set to "asus keyboard". Switching to "android keyboard" makes it work in DoomGLES. (thanks to Paul for the solution)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: On my Alcatel One Touch 918, sometimes I can see through walls. (maybe this bug is present on other PowerVR based devices ?)
A: This is due to blood decals. It seems there is some sort of issue with stencil / depth buffer in the OpenGLES driver... As a workaround, I wrote an alternate code for blood projections.
Check "Alternate Blood (Debug)" in the launch window (or disable the blood on this same window)
