Hi,
Having changed hard drives recently I thought it might be fun to reinstall a few old games.
I have ADOOMPPC 1.3 and DoomAttack 0.8 (I think). I have seen references to more recent versions of these but they are all old enough to have long gone from aminet.
Anybody know any other places to get them? Most of the pages I found just have links point to the non-existant aminet archives...
Did anybody ever port GLDoom to Amiga?
-
old enough to have long gone from aminet.
Ummm... Aminet doesn't delete its old archives.
-
"Did anybody ever port GLDoom to Amiga?"
AFAIK no.

Well that's odd, they sure aint there. Try finding any version of ADoom under game/shoot...
-
Perhaps that's because you're using a mirror? Could be that mirrors don't stock everything due to space restrictions.
-
have you tried to google efter it :-D

Supposedly the US, UK, German and Italian mirrors are all complete. None of them have these files.
US game/shoot (http://us.aminet.net/aminet/game/shoot/index.html)
German game/shoot (http://de.aminet.net/aminet/dirs/game_shoot.html)
UK game/shoot (http://uk.aminet.net/aminet/dirs/game_shoot.html)
Italian game/shoot (http://it.aminet.net/~aminet/dirs/game_shoot.html)
I cant find ADoom/ADoomPPC on any of the above.
-
@edderkop
Yup, found lots of pages that all ultimately lead to links to aminet
@xyth
Thanks, but that's ADoom 1.3 (which I have). Supposedly it got up to version 1.7 :-?
-
On my complete Aminet CD collection there are only 1.1-1.3.
-

AdoomPPC did.
You can find the binary and source at Amiga projects by Jarmo Laakkonen (http://www.kolumbus.fi/jami.laakkonen/ppc/).

I already tried. The links to the binary and source on Jarmo's page point to archives stored on aminet. They aren't there, however.

try this it's there (http://download.uni-hd.de/ftp/pub/amiga/game/shoot/)

That is very odd. I don't know why they were removed... I picked a directory at random (util/misc) and there were files over 736 weeks old, which should be from the late 80s, unless i'm mistaken.
-
Missing files from Aminet? That's a serious problem. I downloaded ADoom1.3 68K from the UK mirror on June 27, so it's vanished only recently.

To Karlos:
If you want to play Doom then get yourself a PC computer. The best versions of Doom are on the PC and the Nintendo 64. I should know, afterall I am the DoomMaster. :-D

@DoomMaster...
Gee, you don't say :-) I've got a PC and it runs the various PC incarnations of Doom fine :-P
If I wanted a PC version of Doom I wouldn't have asked for "latest Amiga DOOM ports", now would I?
Right, time to go off topic :-)
Don't take this the wrong way but you really amuse me. Clearly, you seem to prefer newer, better software, else you wouldn't have mentioned PC doom ports, which are indeed the best around. They make classic doom, king in its day, seem antique.
Yet, when it comes to amiga hardware, you seem to do a total U turn. I don't have a problem with the 2000 being your favourite thing since sliced bread, but let's get realistic...
The A2000, king in its day, has been totally surpassed in performance and I would also argue, expandibility, by the very models you seem to insist are not worth owning.
Now, I'm really curious. Just what exactly do you do with your A2000 that can't be done on any modestly expanded A1200?
Going back on topic again....
@edderkop
Thanks, ADoomPPC 1.7 is indeed there. Wonder what happened on aminet? Bizzare.
-
@Xeron
I agree totally about the features added to 'classic' amiga doom, but since going open source, PC doom afficionados have developed the game into something more akin to Quake2.
They added fully 3D OpenGL rendering, dynamic lighting, md2 support (for models), scripting etc. The actual list of enhancements is much longer.
I assume DM was referring to one of the above 'advanced' doom engines for PC.
I've got a mate here in Manchester heavily into creating doom mods for these newer engines and I've seen some of his work. It's good stuff :-)
Personally, I'd love to see an AmigaOS port of one of these more advanced engines (PPC with miniGL might do it).
-
@Karlos
Interesting. Do these updated engines still play the original levels? Do you have links for these ports?
-
Your best bet is to hunt around doomworld (http://www.doomworld.com/) for them.
I think jDoom is one of the more enhanced engines. Hell, wheres' the_heretic when I need him? He would know but is very rarely here...
-edit-
Some JDoom shots here (http://www.doomsdayhq.com/screenshots.php?game=jdoom&index=1)
-
JDoom is part of the doomsday package and is the best doom port outhere ;)
more info at http://www.doomsdayhq.com
When Doomsday Version2 is done, it shouldbe easy to get an amiga port since version2 will be made under linux gl. I hope it becomes reality ;)
-
As far as i know the latest ADooms are:
ADoom v1.3 - for 68k Amiga
ADoom PPC v1.7 - for PPC Amiga
I am not too sure about DoomAttack as i haven't really bothered with it, as it doesn't seem to like my machine! :-( But i think the latest version is v0.8 or something. I think you can get both from Aminet, or just search using yahoo/google!
