No interest in a AmigaOS 4 Version of Warzone 2100?

@AmigaPapst

Probably more a case of no one interested/capable in porting.

@AmigaPapst

I'm certainly interested in it, but my coding skills are nowhere near the level needed for this.

Hi,

Not a Game who is worth the Time .... ;)
Better Porting Homeworld :P

@AmigaPapst

I like it... but we probably have ZERO spare coders. We must hope in new hardware so others will join OS4 comunity.

@R-TEAM

Well I thought Warzone 2100 was quite a fun game. I like the way that you can combine parts to form new units. I had an (admittedly) brief look at it, but as per usual, I lack the time.

I think it uses physfs for archive access, if that is a problem I have already ported it and can provide it for interested parties. It might still need some work but in essence it works.

Hi,

@Rogue

ohhh,Warzone is not the worst RTS Game i know ;)
But [for me] even far away from best ...

I would prefer Homeworld, the Ultimate 3D RTS ;)

[and for Tank war -> JTCS The Ultimat War Battle Game]

@R-TEAM

iirc i have it somewhere in my A1.. but i don't remember what was wrong..

It would be nice to have some new games but i prefer to improve amiga os 4.0

@afxgroup

You are a hero if you create a amigaos 4 version of warzone 2100.
But can you create a port with the current minigl 1.5 or need you a better 3D system?

@AmigaPapst

afxgroup is already hero in my book, if he does it or not.

@AmigaPapst

Any news from the warzone port?

@AmigaPapst

Hope to see good news from hyperion about os4.. hope that everything goes fine...

After i can hope for some new games

Quote:

The SDL version of Warzone (which is of course the most sensible place to start) uses an external library that needs OpenGL evaluators for font rendering. The currently released version of MiniGL doesn't support that.

However, I implemented those for the next version of MiniGL (Currently automatic normal generation is still giving me headaches, though).

Homeworld needs glDrawPixels, something I wanted to add to MiniGL since ages. It also uses a texture target of GL_PROXY_TEXTURE_2D and glGetTexLevelParameter. All of those will also be implemented in the next MiniGL version.

Guess why ;)

Cool

@tfrieden

Thats cool

@tfrieden

Good news.

@tfrieden

I'm very excited by your words! I love Homeworld, and Warzone 2100 was a pretty good game too.
