GLDoom fixes that problem quite well! And it almost doesn't feel awkward ...

IceColdDuke........does this mean that you've stopped working on the GL port of the Duke Nukem 3D ?

I stoped it due to lack of interest in the community. [Frown] I could not program the entire thing myself....if anyone is still interested...the files are still up on sourceforge.

WTF 😕

It's strange that there are uncountable doom ports, but only one Duke port, of which I know of course ...
Although I liked duke even much as doom, and I think many people liked duke better than doom ...

Maybe in time other people will take up the work?

In your post it looks like "Ice Cold Duke" is asking the question about porting, whereas (last I had heard) "Ice Cold" had taken over the job of porting it showthread.php?threadid=454

In fact, he (supposedly) created a port using the GLBuild port that I've been watching:

Only problem is that the files are an absolute mess and I can't get it to do anything other than crash.

Not strange at all, really. The full source-code for DOOM was released some time back, whereas the Duke3D code was never released. The closest thing we have is Ken Silverman's BUILD source. Even when there's a flawless port of BUILD (Matt Hildred's "GLBuild" seems very close to that), programmers still have to figure out the game-specific code (Duke3D, Blood,etc...)

BTW, I knew about the GLDoom a good while back. I was referring to the original DOOM. I prefer JDOOM for now...

What's better about it? As I looked at it, it seemed quite the same ...

He posted that like last week. It's posted in the ROTT Source forum on 3drealms. I'll try to dig up the link.

Well, just to confuse things, here's the latest news on GLBuild:

30th December 2002 (1.011)

* Improved the collision detection, so that you shouldn't pop through walls at sharp angles anymore.
* Improved the speed of the overhead editor mode so that moving around on slower computers should be much better.
* Made some internal changes for IceColdDuke and the GLDuke project.
* Sprites can now be inserted in overhead editor mode, by pressing 'S', but you can't change attributes yet.

So hopefully he hasn't quit. A successful port of Duke3D using the GLBuild engine would open the doors for all the other BUILD games.

BTW, for anyone too impatient to wait for the next port of ROTT to get ROTT demo running with audio. Try this trick:

Open a command line where the ROTT.EXE and the port files are located. Type this:

ROTT.EXE SOUNDSETUP

It will bring up the audio setup screen. Choose SoundScape for sound and MIDI (MIDI didn't work for me).

Be aware that quality of the audio isn't all that good, but it's better than nothing.

Thank the people at http://forums.3drealms.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php … c;f=24;t=000014 for this info.

Why confuse GLBuild and ROTT? ROTT isn't Build. (AFAIK.)

It's not. Ask DosFreak, he's the one bringing news of "GLDuke" being cancelled here.

I brought up GLBuild because the programmer just recently made some changes specifically to help facilitate the next version of GLDuke (which doesn't make sense if it's been cancelled).

Ah. I see. I think.

Who's confused...and why? It's simple. Read posts and understand.

Check this out. Win32 ROTT for Shareware/Registered and the sound works! 😮

Cool. Too bad RoTT still runs in NTVDM, but y'know. Cool factor. 😉

I'm just hoping that 640x400 or 640x480 options show up soon. Still, it gets better with each release.

Icculus wants to go with a straight DOS->WIN32 port with no modifications. The GLROTT team will make more changes.

Well higher resolution output is hardly a "modification", all it really does is prevent things farther than 10 (virtual) feet away from degenerating into a glob of pixels. In any case, from what I've read in the posts, a higher resolution output is a possibility for their version.

The GLROTT team will make more changes.

A great idea but a very big thing to try. Most projects like this tend to start out strong, but then weaken as everyone has to struggle with all the details of 3D modeling everything. In any case, it won't be anytime soon.

Good to hear...

*stands in line to wait for someone else to compile Win32 Binaries*

What bunch of losers. Lots of impatient people posting on 3drealms wanting a GLROTT port. Obviously they do not realize the time factor involved. They should be happy with what they've go already. Heck, you can play the game as it was originally in Win32/*nix (except for multiplayer). Geesh. I wish I could kill stupid people with my thoughts. Doh! What a stupi
