BSzili port requests

@BSzili

I'd love to point you towards residualvm again, but i know that you are quite busy.

It's not working with Warp3D, getting this error whenever i try:

From this alone it's impossible to tell why the MiniGL context can't be created. You have to trace MiniGL (CreateContextTags -> mgl_CreateContext) to see where it fails.

ProTip: Try to add SDL_SWSURFACE to sdlflags in addition to SDL_OPENGL here: https://github.com/residualvm/residual ... facesdl-graphics.cpp#L263

@BSzili

The hint doesn't work

And the other thing goes straight over my head

Check out this branch:
http://www.hyperion-entertainment.biz ... iniGL/branches/updates-kc
Comment out or undefine the macro called GLNDEBUG in iclude/mgl/config.h.
Then build minigl.library, put it into libs and watch the debug log in sashimi.

Finally there's some movement on the Warp3D front. Something awesome is coming, watch this space.

@BSzili
Intriguing!

@BSzili

Can't wait:)

Yay mari0 !
Nice.

I tested a handful of other games too, I'll make some compatibility list when it's released. Different LÖVE versions are not 100% backwards compatible, so games made with older versions tipically won't run with the new one. There's also the issue of having no FBOs, but fortunately Mari0 doesn't use the canvas feature.

@BSzili

Does that mean we can wish for new game ports?

There's no harm in wishing, but who's gonna grant them?

@BSzili

/me chains BSzili to a chair in front of an developer machine, securely, no chance for escape, hands free

...you were saying?


OK, now that you voluntarily decided to join the cause

here are a few projects

You don't need to port all of them...i guess 90% would be sufficient...take your time

Oh, you meant games in general? Many of those are either already on my list, or someone else's. I'm looking for tips on LÖVE games however. I'm currently testing the compatibility with the ones from http://tangramgames.dk and http://stabyourself.net.

@BSzili

Yes, especially RTS or creration games (since those have been orphaned on the Amiga for a very long time - especially with mythical or historical theme - like Civilization, SimCity and the like) and, of course, Adventures.

I took a quick look on the two links...they look like smartphone games...unfortunately not my cup of tea...

But, of course, it's your time and effort, i won't demand anything.

Everything new is good for the platform

@BSzili
Cool :)

@Raziel
Freeciv is already there, so is Lincity-NG. I could use some concrete examples.

@BSzili

Do you plsn to improve your homeworld port.?

With ahi enabied it runs like 4-5 fps, but when you disable ahi, it runs 23-25 fps on sam460+r7 265

@BSzili

LinCity-NG crashes for me though

I'm good...if you have most of those games i linked to on your list, then i'm already happy and looking forward to them

As i said, i won't demand or point you to anything.

If you really want to do me a favour...

...then Battle of Wesnoth needs updating, i started playing it back when the first versions came out but was locked out soon after they introduced updated (or whatever) libraries.

@Raziel
I didn't say most, but many. That's why I was asking what would interest you the most from those list. It takes time to crunch through all of them, but I could quickly check specific titles if they could be ported. A new BFW client - noted.
