So, Redux 2.0 beta is out a bit earlier than anticipated ! While I only recommend that you use this if you are in a hurry to replay Doom 3 or want to help me smooth out the final release scheduled for late 2019, there has been so many improvements since 0.95b that previous versions are now basically obsolete. You can check the previous article for a brief overview of what has changed in version 2.0.
Everybody else is doing it, so why can't we?

This mod succeeds in what it sets out to do. Redux manages to recapture the beauty of the id Tech 4 engine. I look forward to future releases.
I am also happy this mod keeps the vanilla gameplay. While there are certain valid criticisms towards the gameplay, Doom 3 has always played well as an atmospheric horror shooter and the swapping between flashlight/weapon is pivotal to the game's design.

This is absolutely astonishing, you did a top level quality job. I have just one question for now - why did you choose the original DooM 3 as the modding platform and not the BFG edition which has an enhanced and less problematic renderer? Is it because the released DooM 3 source code gives you more freedom to meddle with stuff?
Okay, and another question on top of that. Why cut out options for EAX/OpenAL support? It was there in vanilla DooM 3/dhewm3 and is one of the selling points versus the BFG edition! I'd really like to be able to use it, despite that it could be questionable to some.
well technically you can use it with a few console commands. but they wont work unless you dowload a cracked version of creative alchemy or have a physical creative sound card that supports it
Yeah okay and another thing as well. Could you please return the master volume slider? It's not just some unnecessary thing, it has its uses e.g. one may need to set it to something like 20% for proper dynamic range processing when using headphone surround virtualization with something like SBX Pro Studio, like I happen to do. Or if someone is live streaming the gameplay, it would also be useful for quick loundness adjustment. I would really love to see EAX and master volume slider return in Redux 2.0 release!
There are two issues regarding the volume slider:
First issue is that the "mute" option is actually using the volume slider value, simply setting it to a level low enough that it's actually inaudible when the option is enabled. This would have to go if I were to reintroduce the original volume slider.
The second issue, which motivated the removal of the slider, is that setting volume_db to anything but the default value alters the audio mixing: at, say 50% volume, the shotgun and other sounds remain quite loud while other things such as ambient soundscapes are lowered appropriately.
I've found the poor audio balance that results from this behavior to be distracting enough to warrant removing the volume slider altogether. I know that this may be somewhat annoying for people with no media keys or additional mouse buttons, so I'll look into it.
The EAX option is not coming back, on the other hand. I've had a number of people experiencing known issues solely due to that option in earlier versions of Redux and it's now unsupported.
If you want to enable EAX anyway, write the following into the "autoexec.cfg" file located in the redux folder:
seta s_useOpenAL "1"
seta s_useEAXOcclusion "1"
seta s_useEAXReverb "1"
Just know that it's not recommended, at least using D3's default implementation.
So I've tried those options with SBX Pro Studio surround and I must say, God the reverb is terrible for the most part, especially in rooms with loud ambient. It may sound better with proper audio hardware acceleration, but who has those old sound cards anyway. I'm leaving OpenAL and EAXOcclusion on though because they don't seem to butcher the audio quality in any way. I can hear the occlusion working, the imp dying noises are mostly less screechy.
Thank you very much Clear_strelok and Joshuaortiz698 for comprehensive answers. I actually do use a Creative Sound Blaster Z series sound card and it works just fine with EAX or OpenAL, albeit in a software emulation mode only because Creative had cut off proper audio hardware acceleration after X-Fi Titanium.
Also Joshuaortiz698, from my understanding what you're saying is only correct for the fully vanilla DOOM 3 which uses EAX and indeed requires Creative ALchemy as the only workaround. The dhewm3 source port, on the other hand, replaces EAX with OpenAL Soft EFX which is completely abstracted from hardware and works on every PC.
Hey there! First, thanks for making this mod! Currently using it with dhewn3 and it's awesome! I ran into a couple of issues when trying to use Arl's improvements thoug:
1-Npcs still have glued fingers, as opposed to the five fingered hands from Arl's
2-Betruger has no left eye! This isn't this mod's fault, i had this issue before its release when trying to use Wulfen's pack and Arl's together, but if you could take a look at it, that'd be great!
