My Amiga Projects

Hi!

Here a little summary of my current Amiga Games projects:

Quake 2

The new Update is nearly done (new features: Mods work again, GL4ES Renderer - software and MiniGL Renderers also still exist, Ogg Vorbis Sound, CD Audio Sound, Full AmigaInput Support, support for 3 Quake2 Levelpacks). Still some issues with the sound, hopefully soon fixed.

Heretic 2

An actual non-Tutorial real game level started today the first time OS4 native. GL Renderer still missing, software renderer still flawed, and a range of minor bugs which should be easy to fix but will not allow it to be called even a Betaversion. One major bug has been workarounded, which probably needs a "real fix" somewhen along Beta->full version.

Unnamed 3D Game

Stable Betaversion, but as no Betatesting yet one can't say what still goes wrong.

Several Mods for non-Quake 2 Games

Still at a very early stage. Not a priority right now.

Current main focus is on finishing Q2 and on H2.

@TheMagicSN

Thanks for the update ...
mmm yummy a new 3D game... SiN ?

@TheMagicSN

Sounds good !

@TheMagicSN

Wohou!!!!

@TheMagicSN

Great games you are porting here Steffen!

I hope we can play soon Heretic 2 and Quake 2 in all it's glory!!!

Amiga World deserves these new things

Nice!

New 3D game? Like others, X1000 ready for beta testing

@TheMagicSN

Looking forward to seeing the newer versions, I hope I find the time to play the games.

@ddni: Well that other 3D game is not yet ready for Betatesting. Early Betatest is running for Heretic 2 OS4, but right now only for a small list of testers as it is still a very early Beta version.

Recent updates:

Heretic 2:

Early Betaversion running, GL Renderer running (though right now only the MiniGL Renderer, the GL4ES Renderer does not work yet).

No changes in the other projects.

@Liveforit:

Are you the guy who did the mplayer-liveforit mplayer port ? If yes, I would have a request. I could use a version which does not output any text (even with >nil: the current version outputs some text) and which additionally to pressing a key also aborts when pressing the left mousebutton. Could you compile such a version ?

Reason for this: I would like to use mplayer for Intro replay for Heretic 2 (then I can "bury" the smacker dll which has some issues and this would definitely save me some time ^^) and for the unnamed 3D game. Do I assume right that when I use -vo sdl it should run on any hardware ? Thanks (of course the Video Replay should not be limited to Radeon HD/RX).

Feel free to contact me at tirionareonwe@gmail.com.

Best regards,
Steffen

@LiveForIt

I wonder if this would also shut up the systems network lease renew message, which i can't seem to silence (comes up after 24h of uptime)

@TheMagicSN

There is a more recent fork done by MickJT.. it is based on the same LiveForIt version but updated

http://os4depot.net/?function=showfil ... o/play/mplayer-mickjt.lha

I see. Still would be nice to be able to abort
video play not only on keypress but also mousebutton
press.

The text output i managed to remove by calling it with
>nil: *>nil: in the game. The second one is for stderr
appearently.

Next thing i will be working on is the gl4es renderer.

@TheMagicSN

maybe possible, there is a config file.
I believe it looks for config file in progdir: don’t remember if its possible to override it with a command argument

@samo79

That depends, don’t think MikeJT ever shared his modifications, not on GitHub as far as I know, anyhow displaying file names in title bar is matter of taste. If TheMagicSN wants to make modifications, he needs the source code.

@LiveForIt

Yeah that's true he hasn't done it yet.. let's hope he does it with the new version he was working on...
I don't know when he will release it

I was more looking of him adding the mouseclick thing
in a special version ;) i was not looking for compiling myselves.

As to the „no text output“ i have a solution now.

@TheMagicSN

Heretic II will be very welcome. I never got to play the game all the way through for various reasons.

@Rob: The Heretic II Port is in the meanwhile in pretty good shape. There are some "issues" which need fixing, but the main issues are the not yet working GL4ES Renderer (MiniGL Renderer works fine) and that Software renderer is currently fullscreen-only.

That’s what everyone thinks,
open-source contributor = free slave labor, free life time support

Adding the possibility to quit on mouseclick is the work of a few minutes.
To get the environment to make all codecs and stuff for ffmpeg compile would
be massive work instead.
I am from the old times used to Amiga developers helping esch other out.
Nothing to do with “slaves”.
The recent OS 4 games work i did was not payed either and it is much more work
than reacting on mousebutton.

What I could offer is a beta version of Heretic 2 for OS4.

But maybe the time were Amiga developers helped each other
out are gone.
