Source Code ?

MagicSN · Post by **MagicSN** » Sun Jul 14, 2002 12:46 pm

Hi!

Any news concerning the source code release concerning porting ChaosDM
to Amiga ?

As I said before I'd not actually need a public source code release. To do it
with source code by email under confidentiality would be just as fine for me.

And don't be worried about things like "messy source code" and such where many Mod-Authors seem to be worried about. I worked on things like the Descent 2 Source Code in the past. Few source can look more messy than that

Hi!

Any news on reaching these two people who
have the source code ? I am now short before finally releasing Quake 2 for Amiga,
after the Betatesting is coming to an end now, and would really like to also have ChaosDM for the Amiga version

If you email me contact details of these two
people, I could also contact them...

Do I remember right, it was somewhere said in the past that they principially had agreed already ?

Thanks in advance !!!

Well... I dont think I wouldve any problem with giving it free... after all having ChaosDM on Amiga would be an extra cool goodie

Only one question? Should I be one of "these two people"???

Ummm ya think?

Hi!

SPA: Many Thanks

)))))

Just send me the source-code by email to SteffenH@hyperion-software.de (My account *can* take large email-messages). Of course I won't give away the source-code to any other people, don't worry about this!!!

I think I can port it over to AmigaOS in the run of a view days, most Mods port straight-forward

Usually I only have to recompile the whole stuff, link with the Amiga-DLL-Code, maybe replace some minor code, and that's it

Hehehe, ChaosDM was always my favourite Q2 mod !!!

Actually I could port it over during the weekend, if I had the source-code

Hi!

Just send me what you have right now, and
if there's any changes later, send an update... I can easily run diff over it and see what changed

Thanks in advance !

Cool! Quake2 for Amiga...

The Amiga 500 was my first computer and I have still my Amiga 1200 PPC. Hyperion Software is not unknown for me: Shogo, Heretic II and Freespace Amiga ports

But I haven't followed the latest Amiga developments for over one year

, the AmigaOne or AmigaOS 4 isn't out yet, is it? Would be great when the excellent Amiga platform would reach its former status like 1989 and 1990 again...

Quake2 will run on PPC I guess.

My old Amiga 1200 with BlizzardPPC Accelerator, 64 mb RAM and BVisionPPC with Permedia2 GPU is still working, but I haven't used it very much the last time.

How will Quake2 perform with PPC, MagicSN?

I fortunately met Fred on ICQ today and he has the most current code version on his old Linux box... but will get a bit tricky to get the files from the harddisk... I gave him this thread's URL and with a bit luck you got the code within the next days

Hi!

>The Amiga 500 was my first computer and >I have still my Amiga 1200 PPC. Hyperion >Software is not unknown for me: Shogo, >Heretic II and Freespace Amiga ports

I was involved in the Heretic II and Freespace ports

(Actually I was the main coder for the Freespace port).

>But I haven't followed the latest Amiga >developments for over one year

Not yet, but several developers have AmigaOne Boards (developer versions) already. I think around 10 people or such. We're working hard on AmigaOS 4

>it? Would be great when the excellent >Amiga platform would reach its former >status like 1989 and 1990 again...

I can only agree

>Quake2 will run on PPC I guess.

Actually I also did a 68k compile, but even on a 66 MHz 060 it is a slideshow. A PPC is needed to run Quake 2 at nice speed. There it is from the speed somewhat between QuakeWOS and Heretic II (faster than Heretic II, but slower than QuakeWOS - of course QuakeWOS has all sorts of ASM optimizations). I once tried the 68k compile on the AmigaXL Emulator and it worked decent (though not as fast as Quake 2 for Windows, Emulation took it's price I guess, and of course AmigaXL did not support 3D Hardware, as it has no Warp3D Support). Well, anyways, Amiga Quake 2 is for PPC Amigas

>My old Amiga 1200 with BlizzardPPC >Accelerator, 64 mb RAM and BVisionPPC >with Permedia2 GPU is still working, but I

It's enough to run Quake 2

> How will Quake2 perform with PPC, >MagicSN?

See above...

A 150 MHz PPC with BVision is fully enough... if it's a faster PPC even without a 3D Card it will be fast enough

Of course Q2 looks much nicer with 3D Hardware

Hi!

Well, up to now I did not get any source-code...

Maybe you can give me Fred's Email-Address ?

I don't want to hurry you guys of course

You mentioned a problem getting the source from a Linux system ? Maybe anything I can help at, I know Linux also

Thanks in advance

...."

I thought that "guy" (sorry Steffen

) wouldve got the source from Major already half a year ago... cause we talked those days in IRC if its ok to give out the code and he was the only one besdies Fred who had it.... and later I wondered why this Amiga port never showed up (...well...was anyway around the time in spring when I took my "big pause")... and today I dug that out and compared the names....AAAARGH!!

Once more BIG SORRY Steffen!!!!!!!

Hope this will run now like a rat through a greased pipe
