Amiga port of Wolfenstein 3D

[Xanxi]

Hello.

There is a port of Wolfenstein 3D on aminet, that i have never been able to play.

I have installed all Wolfenstein files in the directory (Wolf.dat, Wolf.1, DEICE.EXE) but nothing happens when i double click the icon (have tried different tooltypes and 2 CPU 030/060).

SnoopDos does not give any clue about the problem.

Does someone have seen this port actually work yet?

I got a Wolf3d port working on my A1200 030/50 it was dead slow though. Way slower than the Doom ports.

Well, it may be good enough for my 060.
Is it the same version as on aminet? Any clue on how to use it?

If you don't get that goinf and want to enjoy this game on the Amiga check out the Mac version via Shapeshifter - its foot king awesome

Yeah, indeed, i have Spears of Destiny on the Shapeshifter side and it runs fine

However, i am still curious about this amiga port with a really nice icon.

Yes i have set the stack to up to 200000 but no success

Thanks a lot for those informations.
I have managed to get those very files and the game can lauch now (but freezes when the demo start, i am working on it)

However, i don't have the c2p dir after installing Wolf3D from aminet.
I guess it stands for chunky to planar driver. Where did you get it from?

[Xanxi]

It's working now. I had to delete the PC config file (it's written in the manual).

About 15-25 FPS on AGA 060.

However, no sound or music.

[Xanxi]

Does it work with RTG screenmodes is it any faster then ?

I have no RTG on this A1200 but at launch i have a requester with all modes from all my installed monitors to choose from, so it might also work RTG if RTG is installed.

On AGA it is really playable.

Pity there is no sound though.


EDIT: according to the manual, it works with CybergraphX and Picasso96.

:roflmao:

You can get those sorts of frame-rates Quake 1 on a fast 68060.

Indeed, i have almost the same results from Quake 1 and Doom

However, i have always prefered Wolfenstein 3D to FPS full of scary devilish monsters, because i am not afraid of germans

[Xanxi]

How do you manage to play without instantly surrendering

Well , this was mainly due to poor armored tanks in the french army back in 1939 and heavy pacifism in the heart of the french citizens between the two WW.
Now, german and french people are close friends (except for what happened during the 1982 World Cup)

[Xanxi]

Not even the Frieden twins?

I do not know fo these fellows.

Unfortunately this port has not been updated since 2006.

Anyone knows the author Christian Sauer?

A new version of Wolfenstein 3D appeared on aminet 2 days ago.
I don't know what are the improvements.
