Software News : DarkPlaces released !

Posted by K-L on 2015/12/23 23:27:44 (2657 reads) News by the same author

Huno wishes us a Merry Xmas and offers us one of his greatest work : DarkPlaces for AmigaOS 4.1

DarkPlaces is a vastly enhanced version of Quake I and brings many new features such as the realism of shell casings falling to the floor, much improved bullet impacts, 32bit color alpha blended explosions, blood flying everywhere and sticking to the walls...

Resized Image

Originally programmed by LordHavoc, Huno spent many months optimizing his port to get the game running without any trouble on AmigaOS 4.1.

A 3D card with MiniGL/Warp3D is needed to get the game running (and the original datas of the game of course)

The game can be dwonloaded from Huno's dedicated page or directly from this link

Quite a regular Joined: 06/01/2009 From: Germany Comments: 733	re: DarkPlaces released ! Works very good in 1920x1080. I have sometimes slöwdowns. The game is very CPU hungry Please add "CloseWB" when the game starts, this give you some more power for the game. When i use darkplaces-sdl -quake -sndspeed 44100 -sndbits 16 -bpp 32 -widht 1920 -height 1080 i get everytime only 1440x900 in the game. I have to set it in game menu to 1920x1080 Please fix it in the next version It is the nicest Quake i ever played :) Grahics are wonderful, sound is very good multiplayer works too

Just can't stay away Joined: 11/24/2006 From: Sanremo Comments: 1899	DarkPlaces i tried to run it with my commercial version of quake so no shareware version of Pak 0 and Pak 1 but it doesn't start here.. It started one time without pak and I was able to see the main menu but then nothing more... I have a Sam440ep mini itx

Just can't stay away Joined: 11/24/2006 From: Sanremo Comments: 1899	DarkPlaces I have, I guess, a normal version of Quake1.. it always worked for me, I tried and used the PAK files with differents ports so I guess they are not the problem.. I am able to reach the main menu if I delete the PAK files from the ID1 drawer and run the game from the shell raising the stack to 1000000.. But most of the times it hangs up to the Loading screen and I have to do an hard reset.. My system is a Sam440ep Mini-itx with AmigaOS 4.1FE with all the updates

You have a low machine (512 Mo) no ??, this version is for a big machine with big fast ram Please remove all .pk3 on ID1 dir and just add your shareware .pak And enjoy HunoPPC
