    Nope, never liked doom, quake, or any other iD crapola till Doom3.
    Doom3 is one the best games I have ever played.

    Do we have shader model 3.0 yet?


    Powerbook G4 9700m
    Powermac G5 9600


    P.S. RTCW runs almost twice as fast on the powerbook g4 than the powermac G5. Its all in the video card, not the cpu.

    Cannot be done without shader model 3.0.
    So, waiting on a reply to that.

    1. Shader 3.0 support in Radeons started with R500 (R300 has Shader 2.0).
    2. MorphOS doesn't have any Shader support currently, not even for R200's Shader 1.x.
    3. Doom 3 uses Shader 2.0, I think.

    ok, so it uses shader 2.0 and r300 has shader 2.0?
    Lets do this.

    Impressive, but a lot of work without shader support.
    And this approach needs to do a lot on the cpu.

    The same bad effect happens also to many newer custom Q3 arena maps unfortunately. Many are award winners and would be great to have but are unplayable under Morphos unfortunately. Hope the situation improves in the near future. We do have the capable hardware to run Doom 3 and we do also have capable coders so it's a pity not to being able to play it. Think it's a matter of free time or motivation. Perhaps we should return at the option of bounty..

    Yes, it looks better, it is improving day by day. Let Cowcat have enough enthusiasm and knowledge to overcome obstacles in the code. keep my fingers crossed for that.

    looks very promising !
    but i'm afraid a G5 will be needed i guess ?

    what is the computer he's running it on ?

    Hi.

    My system is a MacMini: G4 1.4G, 1G ram, Radeon with 32mg.

    Whatever question, ask now.

    Thanks for the great work. What data files are used? I’m not even sure if It matters or not if their from Xbox, PC, PlayStation disks or not. Are you taking donations? Do you have a release timeframe?

    Keep up the good work.

    Thanks.

    Datas I use are from an old PC CD/DVD release: 000-004 paks. Then you need 4 more from the patch 1.3.1 (005-008 pak): Those I extracted from the linux distro. But it seems to be also in Steam but with different names.

    I must point out that this port is a proof of concept of how far can be done with minimal requirements till I puke running out of ideas. So a complete release or timeframe is bogus.

    Game is a behemoth and expects as much CPU possible besides a good gfx card, although my tests are done with half of the requirements.

    Donations, I don't know.

    I can share what is done for those really interested but as I wrote: "Proof of concept".

    That is interesting.
    For me it is the other way round. Doom 3 is the weakest of all id games.

    Indeed. Doom 3 completely lacks the fast action and fun of the other Doom games, including the newer 2016 and Eternal games. As a horror and jumpscare game it works, but there were franchises like Dead Space and Silent Hill that just did that so much better. I found it quite disappointing when I got a demo to play back in the day.

    But it is good that something has appeared for MorphOS. This thread is originally from 2011, and the game is from 2004 - for any other platform that would put it firmly in the retro category.

    Hi Cowcat,

    thanks a lot for this new port for MorphOS! Excellent news!

    If you want i can share your beta on MorphOS-Storage and add a paypal button to support you ;-)

    I can send you a Mac mini with 64Mb too.

    Sorry, I'm late to reply. Thanks but problems are not related to low Vram gfx cards.

    And no "beta" per se: I consider it half-working for even an "alpha" release.

    Would be something out to test? Yep.

    Just hours to rebuild the entire thing and upload it to Github.

    Need more eyes to look at those sources.

    Hi CowCat,

    I see your Github (firest commit), and i see it's possible to use SDL2 and OpenGL.

    You use PowerSDL with this port ? maybe (when github commit is finish) can building it with SDL2/OpenGL

    Thanks

    @beworld

    Yes, mate. I'm using SDL2 library since the beginning. Good work.

    Keep an eye about the gfx rutines used by D3. I'm using the old ARB code from Id so that enables me to bypass any shader code.

    That works for a non-shader D3 port for a linux build, but still fails for MOS and don't know why (among other things).

    Probably in hours I will finish the MOS part. I'm rebuilding it all.
