Attemping FallOut2-Community Edition Port

Did you check on the Savegames if Endian issues are involved ?
Some games (Hello, Heretic2 ^^) also assumed that "pointers are just offsets to the executable start address" - which would not be the case on AmigaOS.
Another possible issues might be compiler-based like extra-bytes inserted by compiler to have addresses of words divisible by 4,8,16,whatever.

What was the issue with the Game Videos ? What format are they ? You might just call mplayer and play them using IDOS->System if they are any reasonable format.

Sound issues might be an issue of buffer size but I am definitely not the best person to advice on Sound issues - took me always forever to get Sound issues fixed.

It seems engine is expecting audio data in LE format. In case data is converted to BE, you could try to use AUDIO_S16SYS instead of AUDIO_S16, which will mean AUDIO_S16MSB on AmigaOS. https://github.com/AmigaPorts/SDL-2.0/ ... /include/SDL_audio.h#L130

You can also try to double the sample count here https://github.com/ChrisNonyminus/fall ... /src/audio_engine.cc#L131

Thanks..that fixes the audio problem.. Now I have proper sound :)

@SinanSam460

Endian or buffer size?

I used AUDIO_S16SYS instead of AUDIO_S16..

@SinanSam460

I want to solve this annoying load/save game problem, but I haven't found any solution yet.

This is the output from the game, when I try to save some game.

Hi, can you make available the latest version again. I built a version from the 18th of this month and it is having problem opening data files. I think the 18th day build did not have the paths fix and rather fixing paths in your 18th build, it makes sense for me to get the latest version since you already applied the fixes. When I click your google drive link it says that there is no available preview.

BTW, thanks for this. I love these sorts of games.

@rjd324

Here is the latest version.

Beworld (author of MorphOS port) told me to remove big endian fixes in db.cc, however that breaks the fonts.

Hi, thanks for the link.

I can say that with the my version of adtools installed, when I perform a build I hear no issues with sound at all.

On my X5000, when I quit the game and try to restart the game, I get a GURU. Not sure if that is happening for you. Not sure if that is due to building with "normal" SDL (non GL4ES) and the issues with minigl on the X5000 (i.e. http://os4depot.net/share/driver/graphics/minigl4gl4es.lha).

I may try building with SDL/GL4ES just to see if there are any differences.

But, regarding the sound, I see no issues wrt. my adtools installation. GCC 11.3 and SDL 2-2.24.

Yes, confirmed - the issue is with using the minigl via minigl4gl4es on the X5000. The SDL2/GL4ES version works fine, though you need to choose opengles2 from SDL2 Prefs otherwise you get a yellow hue.

Not sure if that new store purchase of Warp3DNovaBridge (I think it is called) solves the issues wrt. minigl usage on the X5000... but, I am not paying for that right now.

You already fixed the sound. Sorry, didn't read the whole thread.

@rjd324
As I mention everywhere never use minigl4gl4es , it was a fast hack, for radeonrx users while there wasn't novabridge. Minigl4gl4es have real issues and bugs, and should be avoided. And the bugs are hardcore ones : crashes on starts, crashes on exit, unability to run 2 minigl apps at time (crashes again), black sprites in many games, etc,etc.

You need to use novabridge + normal minigl from os4depot, not minigl4gl4es one

@kas1e

Right.

Thanks to Beworld, now load/save game is working.

I will upload an updated version soon.

@SinanSam460

Hello Sinan,

your Port runs fine under my Sam460 and RX560.The game runs very well, also save and sound. The Mac version also runs. Many thanks to you.

Greetings

@SinanSam460

Thank you on last port I tested it on x5000 and RX580 it works fine, music,save etc.

Well done with the port..cant wait to try it out.

Anyway. I player this game more than once on pc back in the day, but i always die for no good reason far out in the game, was apparently used to much time to do everything else in game. There was a community patch somewhere that stopped this. Just wondering if this is added here?

Anyway. Extremely cool to have fallout2 (best one) on os4

For those of you wanting to try out the port, I've got some good news. Turns out that Fallout 2 is currently 75% off at Good Old Games (GOG)!

What was the problem with the Savegames ?

Thanks SinanSam460 and Amigaoldskooler. While I do have Fallout Classic collection on DVD, I do not have DVD reader on my machines so I'll just go with the GOG!
