BSzili port requests

@afxgroup

Oh, i just read that...hope you'll recover soon from your hospital visit...

What's your new eMail addy then and when is your website back up with content?

Nevermind, it already is

yes.. hope i can do something soon

@afxgroup

Nice to hear.

Hi,

I didn't read the entire thread, but the early posts suggesting problems regarding the use of large textures ( > 1024 pixels wide) might be related to a bug reported here:

http://forum.hyperion-entertainment.biz/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2955

There is a debug-build version 53.11 W3D_Picasso96.library available here which may (or may not) fix the issue but should help determine what's going on in the low level VRAM allocator for non SI cards (they use their own allocator):

A new port of Fish Fillets would be nice.
The version on OS4Depot.net features a bug which has been fixed in the latest release 1.0.1.

iirc kas1e did the 0.9.2 port, but i'm not sure he's got time for a new release?

@Raziel
He might have time for it, you'd better ask him first. Since the source is not included I'd rather not do a port from scratch if he could recompile the new version.

@BSzili

Oh, i didn't check for the source...hmm

@kas1e

See #626

Just a note regarding my earlier post. If you are using a RadeonHD based graphics card, the updated W3D_Picasso96.library is not relevant to your configuration.

The changes are relevant o R100, R200, Voodoo and Permedia configurations only.

I tried W3D_Picasso96.library, and it fixed the allocation of 2048x2048 textures for me. Excellent job!

@BSzili

Good.

Can you provide me with the debug output from the driver? I'm keen to see how the allocator is behaving this close to the limits of the underlying bitmap implementation.

The driver should be logging data to the debug buffer.

Cheers

@BSzili

Can you repory your system config, including all versions of installed Warp3D components? Another developer is reporting that the same debug driver crashes his system.

@BSzili

Can you repeat your 2048x2048 texture tests on a 16 bit screenmode?

@Karlos
Sorry, I've been really busy. I'll do the test later today, and gather the info about the W3D components, debug log, etc.

@BSzili

It's quite likely you'll run into problems with 2K 32-bit textures on 16-bit displays.

@BSZili,
Is it possible to port a fabulous game like Soldier Of Fortune II double Helix on AmigaOs4 ?
A very very great FPS

@pseudaxos
I'd say the first installment is much better. The jungle segment in the second game is really annoying. Anyway, it's hard to tell whether it can be ported or not. Please contact Raven Software and/or Activision to release the source code of the game, so I can take a look at it.

@BSzili

Your main focus is games, but is the PLEX media player possible??

@busytech
Plex looks like quite a large program, and it's written in C++ too, which is always a minefield due to the outdated compiler. The media server part is closed source, and I wonder how useful the frontend is without it.
