AmiWolf AGA - new Wolfenstein 3D Port

[commodorejohn]

WASD support alone would make this worth the trouble Looks silky-smooth - what are you running it on there?

@NovaCoder

Are any of your ports playable on Jen's ACA 1232/33Mhz 128MB Accelerator ?

Or may on my GVP-M Typhoon 030 40MHz w/64MB ram?

How about a 256 colour RTCW next?

Hiya,

I normally code for 060 only these days because I've sold my 030.  

I think this Wolfenstein port is you best bet for 030.   You might also be able to use ScummVM AGA 030 for some games but it will be a little slow for later gamers (see my signature for links).

Aw man the commentary was getting interesting! Can you post more? Perhaps get a fellow antipodean Amigan to interview you?

[NovaCoder]

I've been working on this port quite a bit recently and I'm getting very close to a release.

I've had a few people BETA testing it and it is playable on an 030 which is really good news

Not much to do now, I've still got to add music support and tidy some stuff up but it's basically complete.

I originally wanted to build a single exe that would support both the full and the demo versions of both Wolf and Spear but that doesn't look possible without a lot of work.   I'll probably just go with supporting the full retail versions only, with two different exe's (one for Spear and one for Wolf).

I was hoping this was only going to be a quick port but so far it has sucked up loads of my time!

You gotta admit it though, the results are worth it!

Maybe, not sure

I want to finish this sucker so I can get on with something more interesting.

Anyway it will be good to FINALLY have a Wolfenstien port that supports both SFX and music on 68k Amiga using only the native chipset.....it's been a long time coming

 Something interesting, hmmm... Half Life! (joking).

So I'm running an A1200 with a DKB 1240 (68030 @ 50MHz) and 16MB RAM with ClassicWB, and AmiWolf starts up fine and goes through the menu without issue - but when I start a new game, it displays the "Get Psyched!" loading screen, then goes black and seems to just hang; I left it sit for about fifteen minutes without it getting to the level...any ideas what I should try in order to pin this down? (I can't run it without the accelerator, as that has all the non-chip RAM - and it's not an unstable board anyway...)

Also, why's it run in interlaced mode? Wolfenstein's 320x200 is already supported by the Amiga...

It runs fine on my A1200 with Blizzard IV 030/50MHz with 64MB ram.
Pretty good speed, and it's actually playable, well done Nova!

It would be nice if you could add a screen-mode requester, so you can choose your resolution.

As far as BUGS, I think the Mouse Sensitivity is not working, because when I changed it, it did not feel any different, I'll try again.

I think I'll play some more....

Hiya,

It's very hard to debug it from over here

My best guess is that it's running out of memory, has anyone got it to run with only 16MB?

Did it create an ERROR.txt log in the game folder?

It just uses the standard PAL video mode (or NTSC if you specify it in the ToolTypes).   It actually asks AmigaOS for the best mode that matches 320x200x8bit, the screen mode is not hard-coded.


I'll have a look at the mouse sensitivity, thanks

Sound and MIDI music (emulated) done, all good to go.

Will uploaded to AmiNet next week after I package it up

Congrats! Ill give this a go tomorrow when I get home from work on my 030

[trekiej]

Thanks, and keep up the good work.

Very impressive.  Congrats dude.  A lot of work went into this i would imagine.
