Question About Quake 1

[ninjamonkey]

Hey guys,

I was wondering, will there be an advanced quake engine that supports hl1 map and model support ported to the pandora any time soon???

 

[typs lik dis]

One question mark would have been sufficient. What is this "advanced quake engine" with "hl1 map and model support" support which you speak of? Give us a link to a project site if you can, and refer to the portability flow chart in the future before making yet another topic.

there WILL BE MD3 models!
edit: i think

Are you basically asking if there will be HalfLife?

In a way, I am. Theres a mod called Perfect Dark Sector 6 for an advanced quake engine being writing for the PSP; sic team. Im just wondering, if a sort of engine that is already made would be ported to the pandora before/within release.

type lik dis - I havent posted anything on here in a decent amount of months so piss off.

edit: link to mod
Perfect Dark: Sector 6

Fixed your link for you -- your link had an extra "http://" in it.

This mod looks pretty neat! I'd be all for something like this running on the Pandora. IMO, the more FPS games on it, the better -- it'd just be a shame to have these wonderful, dual-analog controls, and not many FPS games.

Thanks; yea man that would be a shame if there werent many. The mod looks cool. PD: zero was awesome and Pefrect Dark seems cool never played it.

What they wanna achieve looks cool. But it seems like they aren't that far into the project. I only saw some gun models and a quiet forum. Is there any more info?

In regards to Half Life, I know the the result of asking "will there be HL on Pandora?" results in cries of "NO!" and a rapid increase in the temperature around here :lol:

But would ReactOS be able to run HL and other x86 games/apps if it ever gets ported to ARM? I've read on their website that someone has successfully installed and run it, as well as Diablo 2 (demo) in the 0.3.4 release. Would an arm "port" still rely on qemu?

You'd have the exact same problems trying to run x86 compiled binaries on an ARM, regardless of OS.

 

[Spirit]

Yes, Darkplaces will be ported because it is the Nexuiz engine. It is a very advanced game engine with Quake support.

 

[wermy]

Anyone know of any Unreal mods for Quake III? I always preferred Unreal Tournament to Quake III, and since UT isn't open source, it seems that's about as close as we could come, if such a thing exists. A quick google didn't turn anything up, though.

edit: sorry it's a bit OT.

 

[grasshoppir]

there WILL NEVER be such a thing! evar

refer to the portability flow chart

Hey, I just noticed the "will the software run ... with 128MB RAM". Isn't this out of date, or is there a running assumption that the software should be runnable on a 128MB RAM desktop computer in order to work on a 256MB RAM portable because swap is likely unavailable on the latter?

 

[typs lik dis]

Yeah, it's from before the RAM upgrade; no bizarre assumptions like that. I doubt anything requiring more memory than one has RAM would be very fun to use on any platform. The Pandora can use swap partitions like any other linux device, BTW; they'll just be wildly useless for anything but very gentle multitasking.
