Tried one mod, Steadfast (http://www.steadfast.new.fr/) and unpacked it to Warsow/ as told. It still doesnt show up in mods-list.

Quote:

Well, as Warsow is Q2-based and Id Software fucked up that part in Q2, Warsow mods are platform dependant and need to be ported to work.

Fuddlesed?

Damnit, Targhan, MorphZone is not a public American TV channel watched by religious fanatics who take offence at the word "fuck".

What I meant to say was that Id Software bloody royally completely fuced up Quake 2 and that Quake 2 is complete piece of shit and ID suck and must die for even considering creating Quake 2. So there, take that you lame filter.

And that should of course have been damnit. Good thing that filter is so easy to fool.

Hi!
Unfortunately jfif.library is missing here...
Any links where I can find it?
In any case thanks a lot bigfoot for this port!
(& for the sources :) )
cheers,
frostwork

Try the MorphOS cvs

Any link to the sources? :D

No, i hoped that there is maybe an external official one somewhere?

Quote:

Sorry, not yet, please be patient until bigfoot fixes the binary. :P

..and I'd be interested to know how this worked for hooligan... ;)


- CISC

Hi, CISC!

Thanks for the info! I can wait as I have the sources to play with
till then :D
cheers,
frostwork

OK, that's done now. It's still at http://bigfoot.morphos-team.net/test/warsow_0.12_test.tar.bz2 and the md5sum of the new archive is a2910cea6c2fe08334627dd3b142ad8f

Quote:

Well, I think we already worked out that he's still a dirty pirate :)

Quote:

Actually the jfif.library was for some reason in LIBS: instead of Morphos:Libs/, and therefore wasn't deleted when I installed 1.4.5. Simple and plain, I was just being lucky

@bigfoot:

thanks a lot - this port works for mortals like me

I got about 25 to 60 FPS depending of the game situation - but without any enemies.

Here is kind of bug report:

Problems I encountered until now:

- could not set screen size
- could not connect to a server, only to new server which was set up by me

Bugs:

- after choosing "join" inside the game, running around and then pressing ESC, the text of the menu is screwed up
- texture errors after playing around in the ingame menu

Quote:

Yup, the big open maps do not combine well with the low polygon rate on the Radeons

Quote:

This one you need to elaborate a bit on

Quote:

And this one too. If you're talking about the ingame server browser, then it's rumoured to be broken in the original version as well, so I didn't look into that.

Quote:

You need to read the original post again. It contains useful information ;)

Dammit... I need new glasses... or a huge pizza containing lots of carrots

Hi there,
ooooh, its so frustrating, I get my PegII next week and I have to wait until I can test this out! :(
Has anyone a Screenshot for me (or two)!? If yes, please post here!

@Bigfoot:
Man, thank you very, very, ..., much for the work!!!!!!!!! Are you working on the current version (bug fixing)?
What about the Cellshading? Are you going to port the next version of war?ow, too (comes out in some months)?
Who was the guy, I should ask for the Cellshading?
Oh, and sorry for the thing with the money for a pizza, you remember!?

Greetz,
Tobibrocki

OK, I found out how to change screen modes and somebody told me how to add bots and stuff.

But its still quite slow here on my G4 and Radeon 8500... with 2 bots I get about 60 fps when disabling some (most) eye candy and reducing screen size, but I then tried 7 bots, and then frame rate drops to an average of 10 fps what is kinda unplayable for that kind of game.

@bigfoot:
Any chance that you optimize that port a little bit? That would be great and would make Tobibrocki glad, haha

Quote:
It's in the menu... Is it that hard to overlook? :P

Quote:
Yeah, it is. The mix of the big, open maps and the rather limited polygon rate I'm getting on the Radeon is not really a good thing.

Quote:
The port itself doesn't really need optimisation. The problem lies elsewhere.

Quote:
Well, look at the Warsow forums... Bug reports are still 100% ignored, even when they include full patches and no work required other than applying them and saying "OK", so uhm...

Quote:
Kiero is the guy to ask. The problem is that he is boozing from Wednesday to Tuesday and his inet usually doesn't work between Tuesday and Wednesday.

Quote:
If they didn't mess up too many things, why not? Should be rather straightforward then.

Hey Bigfoot, some things you should read:

Benchmarks made by "wax":

ON PC:
3DMark03
ATI 8500 275/275 = 1440
ATI 9250 240/166 64bit = 661
(yes, 166mhz, and on the package stands 200Mhz! togetehr 400Mhz DDR)

Warsow all on, Tribble buffer, 32bit, FPS on the MAP WCTF1
800x600 = 47FPS
1024x768 = 32FPS

so, now MorphOS,
Pegasos 2, 1Ghz G4
ATI 9250
800x600 = 34
1024x768 = 23
1280x1024 = 16

ATI 8500
800x600 = 55
1024x768 = 33
1280x1024 = 26

The bugs:

The Port runs only perfectly on Radeon 9250 and Radeon 9000! Only on radeon 9000 you can walk trough some textures, I don?t know if the Bug is found in other gfx cards, too! I will inform you about this later!

The Port has Gfx failures on Radeon 7000, 8500, 9000PRO!

The Gfx failures are: Wrong colours in the whole picture and colourful big pixels instead of text after some minutes playtime, or in the moment as a grenade explodes!

The Port runs very slowly on Voodoo 5 5500 MAC , and with the Gfx failures you see above!

Thats that! Now comes some other stuff, I?ve seen that you don?t have a Icon! So, I made some, I hope you like them, this are just PNG pictures, Save them on your Desktop/Ambient and Turn them into Icons! Use the One you like the most!
I hope you like them! ^_^
I made them only for your port!

You can change the size f you wan?t!
This is the first one I made (if U wan?t I can make the Text whithout the texture in it!):

Warsow.png

This is the third try:

WarsowIconv3.png

I think that this one here is the best


Greetz,

bigfoot has had a Warsow icon for a week. That said, icons should be optimized for a size of 64 by 64 pixels. It is advised to not use the full icon size, however, instead there should be at very least a 5 pixels wide empty border which may contain a transparent soft shadow.

Quote:
On which of the graphics cards? And was that a 486? :)
How were the numbers obtained? Staring into a random wall? :P

Hmm, let's see...

I'm guessing that only the guy with the 9250 reads MorphZone.

I only tried with my Voodoo 3, as I can't find my Voodoo 4 and my Voodoo 5 is too large to fit in my current tower. The speed was very competitive with the Radeons, at least at lower resolutions, and definitely no graphics corruptions. The problem causing the corruptions on the Radeons doesn't exist in the latest Voodoo driver released, so maybe he should install that one if he hasn't already?

(By God, I hate meta-bugreports :)

While you're writing an apology on that German forum and informing them of the original post, can you please ask whoever (after reading that post and upgrading to latest drivers) still has problems to either post here or email me at bigfoot@private.dk? Thanks. If language is a problem, I'll try my best to read German (just keep it short and to the point if you do write in German, though. Thanks :)

Quote:
I do :)

Jobbo, the 0-day icon provider, made a nice icon for inclusion in the package when the port is actually released :)

Oh, so I see that my work I spend into the Icons were loosing time, I?m sorry that you don?t like it, I thought I?t would be nice! :( And what now, what should I do with an Icon that nobody wan?ts to use!

The Link stuff:
I?m sorry, I just wanted to help you killing bugs and make the port better!

I don?t know, some ask me to post the failure stuff here! They surley could post here, but, I don?t know why they don?t do it! (A problem could be that some can?t/can?t good english!)

If you like the Icon in a way, you can Include it as a custom Icon in the package, for some who don?t like current Icon you?re going to use! (But first, I will do a smaller version of it!)

warsowlogobuttonv3Kopie.png

So, this is the 64x64 pixel version of the Icon! Hope it?s ok now!

Quote:
Then linking to my post so people could read the warnings would have been a smart thing to do.

Did you inform them about what's written in the original post yet?

Quote:
Then start relaying information more than one way. Go and tell them what is written in the original post.

Quote:
It doesn't look bad at all, I'll include that as well.

Tobibrocki:

The icon itself doesn't look bad at all, but it isn't "square" which makes it stand out from a group of icons (in a panel, for example) - obviously this is a problem of the logo itself in general, not your fault or anything

Still about the icon... I wonder if there already is a drawer icon for the game? (small logo over a normal drawer icon, there "not being 1X1" doesn't really matter at all)
