id Software engines have always been rather weak when it comes to outdoor areas. Remember Doom? Quake? Quake II? Quake III? Doom 3? All those engines were largely made for in-door areas and that's why the Unreal engine proved more popular with games such as Deus Ex where large open areas were …

oh, special permissions is bad, because other projects then can't derive from that OPL code because they don't have the same special permissions either

you mean you didn't read "If you want more speed, try ctrl-F8 and ctrl-F12." right when you start DOSbox?

"We" as in how many? How big a percentage of the DOSBox users is that? And what type of users is that? "pretty damn necessary" for what? And for whom? everyone There is no excuse for leaving out the license and README files just for a few measly kilobytes of space being freed. It's bad enough we …

it should be noted that valve already has done the same thing to Quake when it was making Source Engine 'from scratch' by removing the required (by commercial license, NOT gpl license) 'uses technology from id software' acknowledgments in the headers and text files so yeah they have a history of …

That sucks, because SETUP.EXE was necessary to get a Doom match going. Doom without the multiplayer being sold is quite the ripoff

Guess your video card doesn't like surface output. Try something else (ddraw, overlay, opengl)

It's a Windows9x game built entirely with macromedia software and doesn't work on XP out of the box. Try obtaining the patch from the Simon and Schuster site. If that doesn't work, then set up a Win9X virtual machine with your favorite VM (VMWare, Qemu, VirtualPC)

MobyGames is wrong. It's a DOS game. Totally. They're confused by that PIF shortcut with an icon. Guess that identifies it as 'windows game'

Yeah, nvidia cards don't usually like 8-bit palette changes happening live much. Perhaps DOSbox could default to desktop color depth when in surface output (put the 8bit color in a special option of its own). It's not your particular card. It's been doing this since their 5th generation (fx5200 and …
