Duke Nukem 3D new version for 68060

[Linde]

Just a few quick notes here since I see a lot of misconceptions about the GPL license.

[ul]
[li]You don't honor the license simply by distributing the source. Binary distributions as well as the source distributions have to include the original license, unchanged, and be released under the terms of that license.[/li]
[li]If you distribute binaries on a network server, you have to distribute the source on a network server as well. That is, if you are offering binaries for download, you have to offer the source for download as well, not simply offer to send the source to someone requesting it.[/li]
[li]Source patches or binary patches are not permissible ways to distribute the source. You honor the license by distributing the full source or simple means to retrieve it(e.g. via a version control system)[/li]

No precise measure, but it's used A LOT for sure !




Of course, I know.

Inlining is always much better than your MuRedox in this case !

My routines included skip some of your code : no time lost...

Anyway, was very easy to do, maybe one hour of work...

you should update libnix or create a 68060-pure libnix instead of patching existing binaries. improving gcc to create more optimized 68060 code would be a good idea too.

@novacoder:
you should avoid getting rid of perfectly working rtg code. If it's an aga only game you could kill the os. If you don't kill the os there's no reason to strip rtg code. you don't need to release various versions for 030, 040, 060... You can compile each c2p and optimized part and choose it at run time. take a look at adoom, it's a good example

[Linde]

So, since you are sharing the binaries, will you share the source and the license terms as well? Otherwise I think that this thread should be deleted on the grounds that it is a blatant copyright infringement.

Ha.  I was wondering how long it would take the bickering to start!  :angry:

And we wonder why we have so few developers left!  :lol:

Yes, it's no wonder given how readily people will break licensing agreements and infringe on their intellectual property. But don't you dare linking to an ADF of some cracked 25 year old software!

If Cosmo uploads exe and sources to aminet, updates readme with original license terms. Then situation is better than Dante's release many yaers ago, as there wasn't license terms in readme or any other document in that lha archive.

Just tried it and got a problem, it asks this :

Using Setup file: 'DUKE3D.CFG'
STUB: CONTROL_ClearAssignments (CONTROL_ClearAssignments, Game/control.c:180)
Missing external con file(s).
COPY INTERNAL DEFAULTS TO DIRECTORY(Y/n)?

It locks duke, so I can't anser question.

What I did. I extracted lha archive to duke's game dir. It works (still do) with duke 0.3 version. Choosed "over write all", when asked. Started stteings seditor choosed correct audio / video modes,etc.

Tested with two 68k amigas wich are in my signature, bot have same problem.

Yes, I have this issue from time to time here...

The v0.5 is coming, theorically faster using an Fpu SMult64 routine...

I recompiled Duke without some gcc options, hope this bug is going away now...

@Cosmos:

The archive you uploaded to Aminet does not give any indication that Dante is not the guy releasing it. He's listed as author and uploader, his mail address is given as a target for bug reports... Actually, you're not mentioned anywhere in the archive.

Plus there is no source release, no offer to hand over sources, the GPL's not even mentioned (let alone quoted)...

Please upload a version of the release fixing these problems.

I'm actually testing this new 0.5 version :

- one mul64 removed into _rand
- few render routines optimization, nothing serious
- integer SMul64 replaced with Fpu SMul64, a bit faster
- removed some (buggy ?) gcc options

I see that there is still no source available, and no GPL license information included. It's simple. Include the original GNU.TXT distributed with the official Duke Nukem 3D source code release in the binary package, and make the source code that you are building from available. It could be on the same download page.

You have included a different license, which I guess is applicable to the original distribution of Duke Nukem 3D, but that license doesn't govern the source code or software based on it. If it was applicable to any of your work, your work would have breached the license since it maintains exclusive rights over the program.

I would love to try this if I had a faster Amiga btw. I don't say any of this to detract from the amazing work you are doing.

Why these posts ?

When NovaCoder released AmiQuake2 and AmiDuke, have you asked ?

Why me ?

Leave me alone, please...

[Linde]

Because you are breaking the law by disrespecting the license terms of the software yours is built on. If NovaCoder did the same, shame on him too, but I was not aware of that. It's not a very hard thing to comply with.

[Djole]

I am sure the original developers are awake last nights about this port, Cosmos, thank you and keep up the good work.

[Lord Aga]

Where do these fake lawyers keep coming from ?

Good job Cosmos ! Keep it up, we appreciate your effort.
