BSzili port requests

These are 3d and at least eat the whistle is not a fun :(

@utri007
RG Pro Hockey - This game is unfinished, and the version I downloaded doesn't seem to be playable at all.
Bolzplatz 2006 - If it's fun to play, I'll consider it.

@Capehill
These look very similar to amiga soccer games you can already play in UAE. Those might even be better than the open source counterparts.

@BSzili

I thought that there are quite few sport games for OS4 and none of them are "modern".

Seems that there is no much open source sport games, wich is weird because they are really popular everywhere.

Those two are only ones I found. I didn't found a exe file for hockey game, only sources, but I thougt that it is playable, because of reviews.

@utri007
I downloaded the one you linked, and it only had a single AI controlled player.

@all
I fixed the invisible mouse cursor in TORCS.

@BSzili

Torcs is bog slow with Sam Flex 800mhz Radeon 9250

Practise speed is at least OK, wich makes me wonder what actual game/race slow?

@utri007
The other cars?

@BSzili
and the AI routines too :)

@tlosm
By other cars I meant everything that comes with them: more polygons, physics calculations and the AI :P

True, it is other cars, but also way it has been coded. Lack of caches has huge meaning with some programs and some doesn't "care about it".

Raw cpu power is not that far from 1ghz Pegasos

I was wondering, would you folks prefer transmission to be my next port, or some game?
I'm currently working on transmission, but it's not in a working state yet. For some reason libevent (which is the heart of transmission) refuses to work if I have an active internet connection.
Is there any program to sniff newlib socket operations? I only know NetworkSnoop which is for bsdsocket.library, and it doesn't show any activity.

@BSzili

Transmission would be nice to have

A prefere to have a good working torrent client as its dry on that front comparing to games on amiga. Transmission or some other.

@BSzili

Applications first, however would be cool if you can find some (free) time for an Aliens vs. Predator port

I'm knee deep in debug logs, but once I figured out why libevent won't work I'll give AvP a shot. It's one of the most requested games after all :P

@BSzili

Ok then

@BSzili

Quote:Have you tried C:tcpdump? I would have thought it would not care whether the network activity is from newlib sockets or directly via bsdsocket. (But I'm no expert in Amiga network programming.)

Network stuff has a tendency to get mixed up when compiling whit -D__USE_INLINE__, so I'm hopping your not doing that.

Is there any code that send socket descriptors to a different thread (process/task), then there is a chance you need to enable socket descriptor sharing in Bsdsocket.library.

Hope this information helps.

I'm not compiling with __USE_INLINE__ defined, and since the problem goes away when I'm offline, it's not likely caused by mixing bsdsocket.library and newlib sockets. The socket-based event hander is used for IPC, timers, etc. and not just for networking, so I shouldn't be able to select() on them, even when I'm offline. Hopefully tcdump will give me some clue on where it all fails.

@BSzili

Maybe you can do some thing like.

Printf(“Task %08x, %s:%d error: %s – error code %d\n”,FindTask(), __FUNCTION__, __LINE__, errno ? strerror(errno) : “no error”, errno );

I'm not sure that would help, since all traces point to select() not working. Even timer events won't get handled, so at some point something clogs the event handler when I'm connected to the net. When I'm offline I can add torrents, manage them, etc. via both the web interface, and the Qt GUI.
Gosh, this is taking forever... I might throw in a quick game port, so people have something to play with in the meantime.

edit: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy could be a good choice. MiniGL is well optimized for the id Tech 3 engine, and they should be playable on Sams too with the graphics reduced.
