Hi! Does anyone know if the new version of Heretic II will work on MorphOS?
https://www.amiga-shop.net/en/Amiga-Software/Amiga-Games/Heretic-II-for-AmigaOS-4::1354.html

68k version should work

How can it? It's an OS4 version.

That's not released yet, isn't it? And it will surely run slower on MorphOS than the old PPC version for OS3/WarpUP.

Yes, but unfortunately under current versions of MorphOS the old PPC version of Heretic II crashes after the tutorial when the first level loads.

The game plays a video immediately before starting play in the main campaign. That's probably where it's crashing. Maybe try disabling the videos?

You got the tutorial working, so you've conquered the hardest challenge - actually getting Warp3D to work. As far as my now very dim memory recalls, the Warp3D wrapper used Rave and this was dropped for Radeons after the 9xxx series.

With R300, so after Radeon 9250. TinyRave to the rescue!

How do I disable videos? Is there a console command? There doesn't seem to be an option in the menu as far as I could see.

I'm running on the "silent upgrade" Mac Mini with the 64MB Radeon 9200.

rename or delete the videos

Quote:

I can't find the videos in the Heretic II drawer.

have you search base/videos

shows alls drawers

Quote:

The drawer's empty...

you can try by the system 'search'
with the drawer of heretic 2 use mouse with search and make choice type 'video'
but i m not sure this applicatio of morphos work perfectly

Quote:

Possibly why the game is crashing then - looking for videos and not being able to find them, rather than finding them and crashing when trying to play.

There should be three videos in base/VIDEO - Bumper, Intro and Outro. I don't have access to my old install of the game on MorphOS any more, but the PC originals are .smk (smacker), while Hyperion had to change that to something else for legal reasons.

Hyperion's Heretic II port does use Smacker as well:

It was with Shogo: MAD that Hyperion switched from Smacker to QuickTime:

Thanks for the information, everyone! I copied the .smk files from the VIDEO drawer in disc B to the one on the hard drive. That solved the crashing issue, and I can get into the game now! However, when the video plays, there's just a black screen with audio only.

I think that may always have been the case on MorphOS.

i have not find wizard.library mos so i use wizard.library 45.1 68k (to see if the last on 0s3.2.2 if better)and rtgmaster.library 42.2 mos for the old heretic 2 perhaps the new heretic 2 needs too

a part of my config of this game but i have no music for moment

It's nothing to do with your config. The old cdplayer.library does nothing on MorphOS. You need the MorphOS replacement to play CD audio.

i forgot to write chunkyppc.library 31 .library need too and try see for the data heretic 2 to aminet if that works for morphos

I'm now on the swamp level and experiencing a weird glitch in which all the graphics do some weird tearing in front of the skybox. Does anyone have any suggestions if this issue might be solvable?

Try turning off the fog.
