My wish, QUAKE

[Dark_TB]

I've heard that you can just take the new pocket quake sources and compile it to get quake running with 20fps... (If u are a coder)

Does this take time? I'm no coder and that's why I'm asking. If some nice coder can just try and report how it goes I will be pleased.

It would be a dream playing Quake on the GP32, what do u think mates?

Thnx, Tb

(I'm not from UK or USA so sorry for my english)


I'm also active in xbox-scene and there it just popes up homebrew stuff all the time but that's because they have so many coders and users...

 

[nerd of nerds]

it would be easy if anyone could get the darn thing to compile, and the person who originally made the ports site is down <_<

 

[synkro]

me too, I had a look at pocktequake source.. but, I still have probs setting up compiler and IDE for gp32 dev... Is anybody working on a port?

 

[Dark_TB]

OK, thanx for the replays now I know.
I'm no coder but is it possible to get it to ocmpile if u work with that code a bit.
Days? H? M?

:blink: some1 has ported it, ive got it somewhere, but its useless really atm, i've hears it can do about 2fps but mine gets stuck at the menu

 

[Dark_TB]

no thhat was with the old sources the new one is fixed and works bether with gp32 Cpu I think am I wrong?

 

[khephren]

No, your right. The original code used floating point maths (which neither the GP or pocket PC's have). The new source has all the floats converted to fixed point, so is a lot faster. Also the original coder didn't optomise the sound or graphics code for the GP- so improvements can be made there as well. If we get between 15-20fps from a proper port, I wouldn't be surprised. The quake port as it stands now, runs at between 2-6fps.

dont laugh, but i've never playered quake b4, whats it like?

 

[extremegamer]

Quake is doom with spicier graphics.

 

[Dark_TB]

no, quake is the best old multiplayer game I've played (in school) ...
When I got my voodoo 1 4mb and tried glquake I was stunned ....

 

[NiN^_^NiN]

lol 4mb rofl

Im still working on trying to get it to compile my problem is the makedepend staement.

If i do get it to compile i will put the new sources into it and find if it works.

But i still have to find the 32mb bug as it works on 32mb cards only thats why it froze at the menu screen i think.

Im no programmer so dont expect me to be making it a full game as it would take ALONG wile to i can understand porting the applications better.

Hm would be cool to have a quakeport! This game rox!
I still play it at the internet

 

[jegHegy]

hey, NiN, don't bother with the current port of Quake, that's the one that uses floating point ;/ btw, Guyfawkes also tried compiling it a while ago, and failed

 

[craigix]

It does compile and i'm sure guyfawkes did get it to compile.

However the news about a version using a fixed point lib is brilliant.

Yes, brilliant news indeed. When my bro saw Doom on my GP32 he was impressed, can't wait to see his reaction when I show him quake

 

[synkro]

so, who ist working on it?

Here's ur Quake!!


(btw. I think quake 1 is the best game ever!)


EDIT: As mentioned in the linked thread I found out that the engine is a doom style engine. so no real quake with this one. sorry!
