New Games possible?

MiniGl=OpenGl .But minigl has not so much code.The coder must think about that.I think it is possible,but it will be a reduced version

@all
I compile latest version of PLIB (1.8.5), and it works fine, some examples works fine, but there is last one problem : main PW functions (such as pwInit, pwCleanup, pwSwapBuffers) are os specific. There is support of Macos, Win32 and X11 only.

So, if games use pw fucntions directly, then i should write that stuff for aos4 specific (which is looks not so hard in general), but if games not use any pw fucntions at all (there is many other fucntions in PLIB, which can be used without, and i think some games use it like that), then what i have already will make sense too.

EDIT: I check SuperTuxKart sources for now, and it uses only 2 modules from PLIB : sg and ssg (boch are works for now). So, will try to build that nasty game.

@kas1e

There is an "ancient" OS4 port of this library, maybe you can obtain the help you need by Hans

@samo79
Yeah, already checked. Hans say on that page, that for his version network does not works, but for my version it already works (trying to compile SuperTuxKart already).

@kas1e

This SuperTixKart ?

http://supertuxkart.sourceforge.net/

@kas1e

Great work with plib. Hope you upload it to the depot too. And hope you get that game working aswell.

@samo79

Yes

@ALL

Here is:



FPS are slow like hell. I think 4-6 FPS on my peg2/1ghz. And CPU are 100% loaded. I think big problem there give for us our OpenGL realisation. Releasing of such slow game make no sense imho, so better to wait for x1000 and new 2d/3d drivers.

@kas1e

What abt egoboo
http://egoboo.sourceforge.net/

Or Vega strike
http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/

@ALL
Uploaded my version of PLIB on os4depot (which i use for builing STK).

@Joeled
Will check it now

@kas1e

Mmmm seems pretty, I would like to try even if slow, can you release it as a beta form ?

@kas1e

huh?... i thought plib was shitloads of work to port?
and doesn't tux racer need tcl?
maybe you'll be able to port penguin racer now as well then?
i got the impression it is less cpu hungry, but i might be wrong.

Some modification was done , yes, but nothing so heavy. But interl pw function not works at moment (what also not so hard to implement, there is only few). But i will do it if only some games which want plib, will want it (to make sense of that work)

Quote:
You mean SuperTuxKart ? If yes, then nope, it not use TCL at all. Just few fixes in configure, then few fixes in code itself (not many, but some was annoing), and that all. Dunno still why it 100% of cpu loading , maybe i can somehow change that later..

Also, that version which i compile, its last stable one, but they (authors of STK), have make few more beta after that, where they remove PLIB at all because it ancient. Maybe the latest version can be faster a bit, need to check.

@Samo79
Why not, will upload binary today .

@kas1e

Great! Egoboo feels a little bit like Dungeon Keeper Looks like a really funny game!

@Joeled

I see 29-30 FPS on that video (which imho was grabbed from fast enough machine) . Anyway need to try of course, maybe we will lucky

@kas1e

Let us hope so!

these three might be portable...

@spotUP

Looks very nice!!

@kas1e

Thank you very much for porting SuperTuxKart :) Could you upload it to OS4Depot?

@all

I've made a cover for the Amiga version:

Cheers,

@xeno74

Cover looks very nice ! And x1000 requements looks pretty right too.

I can upload binary here (will do it in next 30 minuts), just for everyone in interest, but dunno should i upload that madness slownes on os4depot ?:)

I also for now do not know why it so slow: because of our opengl implementation, or because of 1ghz of cpu ?

ps. it also crashes on exit, but i just not fix that because when i see how slow it is, i not think that fixing of crash on exit make sense ..
