Summary0001936: Backport openal branch of (g)zdoom
DescriptionProgress has been made on the openal branch of zdoom, and its close to completion. It would be nice if this feature was ported to zandronum 2.0 .
'https://github.com/kcat/zdoom/tree/glal [^]'

Not only will it help free zandronum's source, but more importantly, it will improve portability.

I think the feature would have to be fully completed for it to be selected and integrated, plus bug testing by having it in an official release version would be also great.


Does it rely on anything in 2.7.x or 2.8? Zandronum is far behind in this aspect and if has any connections to something that is in 2.7+ but is not in 2.5, then it can get quite messy to backport AFAIK.

Since Q-Zandronum already supports OpenAL, I think it would be a good idea to port from there.
I've already successfully ported it locally. It is currently working normally except for the problem of HRTF being applied to music.

Something else to be aware of is that the recently added voice chat feature uses FMOD Ex (since we're still using it) and would need to be refactored to use OpenAL instead.
