Stunt Car Remake plays great on my CC pandora. Found no issues. Did 2 tracks. Steering is good. Just practice makes perfect :) IMO this should be on the repo :)

Agreed, if his work of adding the cockpit and wheels graphics turns out to be too problematic, either in execution, or getting it to work on all units. But if not I'm holding out for that still.
 
Ok, so I removed StuntCarRemake and pushed it to the repo. It now have its own thread in the Software section.

To compensate, I added a beta of BloodCM, the TC of Blood for eduke32. I don't think it's super smooth (well, it is, but there are freeze that make it not super playable in may taste). Some better default settings needs to found maybe. Link in the 1st post as always.

It's prob based on newer sources than the current eduke32 Blood in the repo, but I found that a tad sluggish as well, on a 1GHz unit I found the real Blood game with your latest DOSBOX was fully playable. Plus this TC isn't quite complete there are some noticeable differences in the physics and a few other things if I recall.

Yes, I agree, it's better to use the original on DosBOX for now.
Furthermore, the author of the TC has switched projet. BloodCM as it is will not evolve anymore, as he is now focussing on doing an entire new engine using gdx.
That one was a request, so I have done it (and spent quite some time trying to make it smooth enough).

Also, choosing the "Classic" renderer instead of Polymost can improve things a bit (but it not 3D accelerated anymore).

I have just added a beta PND for Barony: Cursed Edition.


Go to 1st post for link and some instructions.
Please report if it's working so I can push or not to the repo.
 
Just tested on my CC.
GOG data extraction works good, at first i wasn't using a swap file so the game exited (with the gamma light not restored...), later with a swapfile loading and running was good.
But i have a problem with the "use" button i seems to not be able to use any object, i have also changed the button assigned (my left nub is partially working...) and tryed to assign to A button...but nothing.
nevermind after changing resolution (as stated in first post) to 800*480 i could use the button...but the settings menu is messed up and is not entirely visible at 800*480.
Also i have noted that the menu options is overlapping a bit to the left of the screen...on 900*600 mode.


Anyway thanks a lot for releasing a first pnd of it.

Yeah (that's why I didn't put my PND on the repo) ! You should update your PND (I'll then remove my version from here, as there is no need for 2 versions). DxX-rebirth engine have been updated lately.

so seems easier to build native with scons now, how did you handle libphysfs. Doesnt look to be part of the codeblocks pnd

libphysfs is part of codeblocks pnd. It was 2.1.0 in last version. This is quite unstable so I fall back to 2.0.3.

Also, the Werror is a really bad idea so I disabled it in the Sconstruct.
here is my diff againt the github repo

I have noted this on the 1st post (except the overlapping of the option menu, I must I forgot to change back the width valu I adapted for the 800x480). The FBO I create for the 960x600 screen mode contains Depth+Stencil (as 24+8 renderbuffer). But I think a simplest 16bits depth renderbuffer is probably enough: I'll check if the CC prefer it like that (and hopefully fixing the depth issue that still are there).
[doublepost=1485162847][/doublepost]I have update the link in 1st port for Barony. Now the game will create simple 16bits depth buffer instead of 24+8 Depth+Stencil buffer for the FBO. Hopefully it will help CC user (I haven't tested yet).

little test before going to work.

the options menu is the same as before...i attach an image to show:

Mmm, thanks for the picture. Strange, you have the unlabeled menu between "Mouse" and "Misc", meaning you don't the updated lang/en.txt in the data (it should be automaticaly copied, and it worked on my CC when I tested).

(out of subject: you have some beggining of PTOD issue with the LCD ribbon?)
 
Just returned from work...so sorry for late reply.

Yes it's more than a year now...(for the LCD cable and few months later my left nub) i was waiting for the Pyra before ship to ED for repairing...i wouldn't want to be without my :p&|a: :)

Thanks!
 
I have removed Barony for the Beta Thread and pushed it to the repo (and I haven't broken the repo doing so ;) ). The version I have pushed is slightly newer then the last one on the beta thread, so better grab the new version (2 bugs fixes, 1 with music, 1 with collicion detection).

Also, I have update the BloodCM package. The previous version was missing libGL.so... It's fixed now and should run even without codeblocks openned somewhere.
 
GLFrontier works well on my GHz Pandora. Took me a while to figure out the controls are A/Z/</>, with space on shoot, and speed controls on shift(left trigger) and enter.

Most importantly, how am I meant to quit this? I've been able to exit to the load screen, but hitting escape there just dumps you through to the first start point.
